A visit to a beautiful garden

Today we visited Andreena and John's beautiful house and garden in Gawler.    It is also a very peaceful place, with no traffic noises, just the sound of birds in the trees, plus us talking of course.

The back garden with lovely olive trees framing the mixture of healthy looking shrubs at the front.

The lovely cool outdoor area, with comfortable seating and a view over the surrounding garden.   The shrubs and lawn are lush and green.

The feature area with statue and wall hanging.

The fountain, framed with two pots and a hedge..

 The driveway with immaculate hedges on both sides.   A difficult driveway to reverse a car out of as it has a bend in it, but gorgeous to look at

I have forgotten the name of these shrubs with little purple flowers.   We have two at home as well.

The side hedge framing the garden bed

                                         

And at the top back corner a shady nook under the olive trees.   A perfect spot to sit and look out on the garden, and relax.

This was a perfect end to our nearly three weeks away, both with catching up with Andreena and spending time in their garden.    

Reluctantly we drive back to Aldinga Beach, 127 km away.   Still it will be lovely to be home.   But it has been a great and relaxing holiday.
