A Beautiful Place To Call Home

(our new land)


We have finally found a place where we would love to build our dream home! On top of Jacksons Hill at the Manor Estate in Sunbury is where we will soon call home, surrounded by beautiful heritage buildings, the old Victoria University, lovely bridges and wonderful parklands...oh...and did I mention city views? Today was not the best day for views but next time we are in the area I will take some more pics, you should see the view at night! WOW!!!


(can you see the city?)

We have yet to choose the house we would like to call home but finding the right place to build was a job on its own and we are happy to sit back and wait a while till we know what we really want in our home.


(our new street is yet to be made)

Hope everyone is having a nice time...I have not been blogging too much lately as I am starting to do a big clear out of our home so when it comes time to move I will have it a little easier...well...thats what I'm hoping???

My Petite Maison said...

I was just getting ready to leave and thought... what about all your lovely roses, will you take them with you? Last time we moved, we filled a rental truck with all of our rose bushes and plants - what fun that was sweeping out, but worth it!
You're in my thoughts... okay, talk to you soon.

Hi Siobhan,

I wondered why you were so quiet - looks like you have been very busy. Sunbury is a lovely place and still close to the city - great city views too.

I look forward to following the house building process.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
