Do you remember a few months back when birds were all over the road under the pines 'cos they were shedding their nuts (the pines not the birds). Sorry that's rude but it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't put it any other way. xxxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-22501496891694172762013-11-18T17:52:43.198+08:002013-11-18T17:52:43.198+08:00I'm a fan of Cottesloe beach and the tea house...I'm a fan of Cottesloe beach and the tea house, a great place to take visitors.

I do live in Hamilton Hill (been here since 1974) and it's not a ad pace to live. We are almost on the southern border of Hilton.<br />I am glad you enjoyed this post.

As said above I don't have many followers and really appreciate anyone who pops in.<br />Our west coast is very beautiful but as I've not seen those in the east (except for Melbourne) I can't really compare them. I know West Aussies are very proud of their beaches.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-41766376126209083492013-11-17T14:29:25.048+08:002013-11-17T14:29:25.048+08:00Hi Becky...lovely to have you pay me a visit.

I don't have many followers as I don't do anything interesting these days being mostly housebound.<br />Unfortunately when one is on the beach one doesn't see that building as it is seen here from a distance. You perhaps lose a little of the overall effect of it. It wasn't my photo by the way....I had to steal it from an article about our city.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-41725743920855631502013-11-17T14:27:19.608+08:002013-11-17T14:27:19.608+08:00Thanks Denise, you are always welcome here.
