about
I grew up in England and came to Australia in my early twenties. It was a huge shock initially because I had been living in London (in the swinging 60’s) and Melbourne at that time was a very conservative city. I missed everything about England, particularly my family. The Australian vegetation seemed totally alien. Where were the oak trees, the roses and rhododendrons?
Fast forward many decades and now I see extraordinary beauty in the Australian landscape. I’m fortunate to have retired to a small coastal village just ten minutes walk from the ocean and bay beaches. That would never have happened in England. I’ve learnt to love the native trees that grow in our garden and to care for them. No one has to water trees in England!
