A near neighbour's very old cottage

Four doors down is this house that was built about 150 years ago they say. It was neater until a storm blew some of the verandah down. I've made drawings of this house in various stages of disarray. And below are some pics based on a sketch of a very old fig tree in a manse garden in Williamstown - a drawing I did some time ago.

In the street where we live

Today it has been a humungous hot day - 46 in the shade - I wrote about that on the babasiga blog, and thank goodness it's now about 6 p.m. and the cool change is starting so all the doors of the house are opened up now.

Yesterday I took four photos along the street, the driveway next door, a peppercorn tree, a flowering gum. so here are some pictures - not drawings - just manipulated photos of the driveway and the gumnuts and flowers in the street where we live.
