my place & yours

I would really like to live here in this pink beach side cottage, with my mum living next door and a boxer dog running around the garden.

I live in a unit in Sydney. And it's not pink! And I'm not allowed to have a dog! ...BUT, I moved to Australia to escape the city (of London). I lived in Queensland for a while which was nice, then Melbourne which was even nicer and then met my hubby who is from this part of Sydney and will NOT move anywhere else. Which is fine as it's a beautiful spot that I live, on the ocean, renting a unit and I am so grateful that it is not London. However, I do hope to vacate the rental soon, buy a bit further down the coast, a ramshackle house (I could paint it hot pink!) with a lovely little craft room overlooking the ocean!

I could probably get a boxer to run around the garden, but unfortunately my mum will never be next door.

Pop over to Danielle to play along..

a childhood memory...

This plate was given to me from Uncle Fred (doesn't everybody have an Uncle Fred?!) and Aunty Betty when I was born. Time has done it's dash on the date but it sat on my bedroom shelf for my whole life. I never remember a time it wasn't around. It survived the trip to Australia and I only just realised today that it's made by Wedgwood! How's that? 34 years later.

Like I would have cared about that when I was little!

My mum so loved the name Georgina, and is so sad that I've only ever been called George since!
