Book of the Week.....

Velvet Pears by Susan Southam.
This inspiring and beautifully illustrated book tells the autobiographical story of a young bride, Susan Southam who moved into a little weatherboard cottage sheltered by huge Norfolk pines at the foot of a purple mountain. Over the next twenty-five years she transformed four hectares of bare paddock into a romantic garden planted in the English style. Here at Foxglove Spires, one of Australias best loved gardens, Susan celebrates the romance and beauty of the country life, following the rhythm of the seasons and she creates beautiful rooms in her home and garden.
By far my most favourite book ever!
