The road to the hovel, named Liddells Road in honour of Jack Liddell who built my house in 1945. The mountain in the background is part of the Mt Wellington Water Reserve and hence a national park until our government sells it to some multinational.Note the yellow wattle blossom.

when Spring comes all is forgiven. This is Lucaston by the way, a district adjoining Crabtree.

Nerve Centre at the hovel

Honestly it only snows a few days a year , but when it does the view from the front verandah (porch) can be quite spectacular

And here is the hovel in spring. Note the small member of my loyal staff waiting to be fed on the verandah.
