I'll be checking out Patchwork Pumpkin, it will be great to have so many quilt shops to visit. I've been on a few quilt shop crawls in Melbourne & there are some fantastic shops.<br />Thankfully the roads have improved.I haven't had sandy soil before, I've had clay & that's hard work,we'll be installing a tank to try & green up the garden. I did notice many of the houses for sale had very little grass & what was there was brown.

Way back when. I went to High School, Teacher's College and taught in Frankston.when it was a nicer place than it appears to be now.<br />Sandy soil but gets more water than we do here.Ozjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289581373348212960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576527875534706428.post-40377082547376797622010-02-27T22:20:36.530+11:002010-02-27T22:20:36.530+11:00Glad you found your place Jan, just down the road ...Glad you found your place Jan, just down the road a bit from Patchwork Pumpkin!

It's 10 minutes from the school we've chosen for Rowan, 40 mins from our dd Emma in Glen Iris & yes 30 mins from Mentone where we have friends & there is DFO. We started looking in Berwick in 2008, this year the search went up into the Dandenongs & finally we decided on the Mornington Peninsula. We don't know the area but Paul said it looked nice when he drove to the school to ask about enrolment.Jan Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577921789461699471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576527875534706428.post-55957930580061156322010-02-27T19:05:04.814+11:002010-02-27T19:05:04.814+11:00Lovely house Jan looks perfect.
