Our house...

is a very very very fine house.... no cats in the yard but if the rat poison doesn't work soon there may be.

We live on the top floor of a big house all the way out in U. It has an enourmous balcony/ patio thing which looks to the ocean. I'm in love.

Our balcony. The pretty flowers are on the vine that twines all the way up the stairs and along the edge. The view is to the ocean (duh!) and of some of our potted plants... local coriander, basil, lemongrass......


View to the ocean from the balcony, with coconut palm.


The little covered area on the balcony - where Ben spends his hammock time and where we can shelter from the frequent bursts of rain.


The lower part of our driveway - this leads to the lower part of the house, where Curtis, Missy and their 2 year old Logan live.


This is the 4WD only top part of the driveway, leading up to our back door and to the endless jungle. Well, endless for a few metres, then solid basalt cliffs. Terrifying to drive down, but fun. As an indication of how steep it is, to the left of the picture is a set of stairs so steep that they would never be approved in Australia. Good for the legs, but very bad after a few beers.


The house from the driveway. The bottom part is the house below, the top is our balcony. Hidden, but to the right of the balcony the rest of the house - closest is the lounge and kitchen.


Our lounge room furniture. I don't need to say anything more.


Our very stylish kitchen


The backyard from the back door


More backyard


The side of the house, the scary driveway is to the left.


The puppy, Back (!). Who has taken to barking at the jungle all night. Don't know if I want to muzzle him or be scared of King Kong peering down at us....
