I don't know where it is that you live, but I'm loving the sense of community, it sounds like my kind of place (and very much like up here). And you're so lucky to have your mum so close! Thanks for dropping by! Hey Rach! I don’t know where it is that you live, but I’m loving the sense of community, it sounds like my kind of place (and very much like up here).

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:30:09 +0000 http://trishmorey.wordpress.com/?p=45#comment-66 Hiya Trish I love where I live because it's good for my family... my husband works two minutes from home and can come home to taste my gourmet lunches (yeah right), laugh with me and play with my boys for an extra hour every day. I love where I live because I feel part of a special community. When I walk down the street, people speak to one another. I can't go shopping quickly, cos I always end up having a conversation in the supermarket aisle. I love where I live because my mum lives right next door and is often happy to baby sit my boys when I want to write. I love where I live because we don't have to have two cars and barely use the one we've got. I'll stop now... or this'll be an essay! Hiya Trish

BC sounds just magic, I've always wanted to go there. How gorgeous to be able to see the snow. I know what you mean about winter hanging on - our summer just gone hung on and on and on. We had a heatwave that's suddenly turned off and now we're all shivering! Change will come. Joy, our heatwave sounds nothing like your heatwave! Phew. Arizona sounds fascinating. Friends of ours traveled through just a few short months ago and we saw their pics - amazing countryside! Glad you like the new website design - I'm really pleased with it. Hey Annie! Lovely of you to drop by. We had a family holiday once up your way and it is a lovely region with the coast and lake and mountains. Very pretty. These posts are wonderful. It's lovely to hear about other gorgeous places and why people love them. Makes me want to travel. Hi Helene. BC sounds just magic, I’ve always wanted to go there.

It sounds just lovely, especially autumn. I miss the fogs and changing colours, since I'm no longer in a cool climate here on the coast. I have to get a touch of autumn by heading to the hills. I'm in a beautiful coastal area a couple of hours north of Sydney. We have Lake Macquarie nearby, which is huge, and terrifically relaxing - I love watching the yachts on race day, or sitting over a coffee while taking in the view, or even just walking on its edge. A little further away is the Pacific Coast with endless beaches. Further west are the Watagan Mountains (hills to most people) which are natural reserve - thick bush and glorious. Turn north west and you'll find the Hunter Valley vineyards which are gorgeous at any time of year. No koalas here but plenty of colourful birds like the vivid King Parrots (so incredibly red and green you can't quite believe it) and rosellas. Kookaburras usually gather nearby which can be raucous but I love them. Blue Tongue Lizards in the garden too. Lovely blog, Trish, I've started the day well reading this and the other responses.

We have beautiful sunsets because of all of the dust in the air. Arizona is a unique place in that within a 2 hour drive one can go from the desert floor to mile high cities and pine trees. We also have the biggest ditch in the world-the Grand Canyon Lots of Native American tribes and outdoor activities. One drawback is that it gets really hot in the summertime-i think last year we had 82 or more straight days of over 100 degree temps. But the winters are really nice.

We live in the Fraser Valley in BC Canada, we have small mountains at the back & front of us which at the moment have quite a bit of snow on them, it should all be gone by now but winter doesn't want to go away this year. We can grow a type of banana in our garden, a couple of years ago they had some very tiny bananas on them, they didn't come to anything but at least they tried! I am originally from Kent in England and the area where we live is very similar,(except for the mountains) We are retired & have a boxer dog and she keeps us very active besides working in our garden which is quite large. We came to Australia in the 1990's & visited friends in Adelaide(Barossa Valley), Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane, we also visited the Great Barrier Reef, what a fantastic country, I would certainly like to make another trip. Keep up the good work Trish. All the best, Helene I love your blog , I haven’t had time for much reading lately but I certainly will be getting some of your new books.

Blogs looking great and I love your koala count defining what sort of day you're going to have. All the best, Sharon Hi Trish,

Just wanted to drop by and say hi, I didn’t realise your blog was up and running or I’d have popped in before. Blogs looking great and I love your koala count defining what sort of day you’re going to have.
