Especially when the turf at Paddo finally got laid on Sydney’s hottest day EVER..when i got into our car in Claireville at 11.30am it registered 49C! Insane..then i realised i had a parking ticket..let’s just say things were pretty hot!
Secret Gardens who did our landscaping advised us not to water the newly laid turf until the evening as the water would burn the grass!
Here are some pics of our new Paddo garden;)

47C on Friday…

We started the day down at Claireville beach – a paradise for kids and good on a hot day as there is lots of shade

Claireville Beach earlier in the week;)

Our new fence is finally up…pretty happy with it

Ella and Daddy on the new grass!

Our rooftop bougainvillaea bowl is in – hoping those white stones will stay white!

Ella taking charge of the watering;)

The glass covers are finally off – Luigi’s curves are revealed! Light is no good sorry! this was on Friday night when the storm was brewing..

Hi Heidi & Michael,
And the backyard is shaping up very nicely.
I’m so happy to see these pics! Would have loved to have seen the whole process through, love the kitchen bench and children’s wardrobe joinery
All the best from Paris. xx n*
