Walking around my neighbourhood I'm filled with stories that must be contained within the walls of the old houses still standing where they were built up to a hundred years ago. They are reminiscent of European architecture brought to Tasmania with our earliest free settlers. This first one, a relatively new house - the biggest of all - is not one of the new Australian MacMansions but seems very European to me also, so I've included it here. The main house is 3 storey. The garage is 3 cars wide.
It was either miss the top of the roof or miss the gorgeous statue in the garden. Sorry about the awful pink bin - a sign that this is a house of the 3rd millenium. I love this house - I wonder of the country of the original owners. The house, the overgrown garden, are reminiscent of the literature of my childhood. And the overgrown garden at the back is the location of exciting children's adventures. I had a couple of other houses but I'm told that I cannot "contact Blogger.com". I will do them at another time.

Me, too. It reminds me of childhood.
Pretty place.
Woz,
Thanks for sharing those houses. It's so cool seeing the archetecture and the colors and gardens from your spot in this world.
It's been great to see Turtle's and CHristy's too.
Someday, maybe I'll abduct my hubby's camera and take some pictures too.
I find houses and peoples' choices of colors, styles, and gardens to be so interesting to look at.
I tried to create a wildflower yard here, but either the animals ate the seeds or the soil is too clay-like to grow successfully. I mentioned that we live in the middle of the woods. Well, my hubby has also taken a stand due to living in the middle of Mother Nature: He will not cut the lawn!
So if I could get the wildflowers to grow it would be great. But allas, the only thing that seems to have taken root are these 3 feet tall milkweeds that I have to cut because they're pickery and they actually spread too fast! (The hummingbirds seem to like them, so we allow them to grow on our natural tree root mound left from when we built the house. Anyplace else and they get pulled!)
