Lilly Pilly Lane...





Ok... so this is mainly for Nan.... but as you can probably tell... I have an assignment due relatively soon... therefore things like "backyard blitzing" the front courtyard are suddenly of ut-most importance, and can't possibly wait!!


As such... last Thursday we spent a pretty penny down at the garden shop which was having a half price Lilly Pilly sale. After scouring the place and investigating every single Lilly Pilly to find the ones with the strongest constitution, and making promises to the chosen ones that they can only hope we keep...( ie... we really will water you when we can...) we piled up the back of the corolla with more Lilly Pilly's than any one would care to imagine (especially the people driving behind us, who realised anything that wasn't in front of us was in a leafy blind spot) and ..... voila.... our beautiful summer courtyard was ready for BBQ dinner!!!!
NB... Thanks to Uncle for his help with the newly constructed "car-port" you can just glimpse on the other side of the fence!!

Dear Dot...

Lilly Pilly lane looks lovely...in your climate it shouldn't need too much watering...The carport looks great and will keep the birds off!!

I am thinking of having dwarf Lilly Pillys up the drive for after Easter instead of annuals...because of the water... however we did get 30mls of rain over the weekend which was HUGE!!! Every thing looks very refreshed.

This is the most rain we have had since last May...

will write tomorrow (Tuesday)

Love Nan
