I hope you enjoy a blast from the past.

Hey there Georgie Girl,
Are you going on a morning town ride
When the stars begin to fall with
Chilly Winds, Wild Ride and
Red Rubber Ball

The light from the lighthouse
Colours my life
Love is kind, and love is wine
Keep a dream in your pocket and
Whiskey in the jar repeating the words
We shall not be moved

When will good apples fall?
Some day, one day, even
If I had a hammer and
Five hundred miles
I'll never find another you
The Carnival is officially over so
To everything, turn, turn, turn

Boundary Trees

Nyla Neighbourly Lead from Akina

Just a heads up ... If you have trees/shrubs on the boundary, especially beside a footpath, keep the branches away from the path or over it ... on these wintery days its not nice to hit greenery with the head and get watered ... also be aware that flowering trees like camellias drop their flowers … View moreJust a heads up ... If you have trees/shrubs on the boundary, especially beside a footpath, keep the branches away from the path or over it ... on these wintery days its not nice to hit greenery with the head and get watered ... also be aware that flowering trees like camellias drop their flowers onto the footpath and in the wet theyre very slippery, maybe tidy them up
