nice pics! but no that's not Talihina...at least i don't think it is. it might be. it's been so long, i've completely forgotten what it looks like... but here is a picture of the famous (well locally famous anyway) William's Ordinary in Dumfries, VA. which is where i live now... isn't it hella cool? it's actually got four chimneys (yes! four!) you just can't see the fourth one.

Pretoria: O my gosh, how stunning are those purple Jacaranda trees?? And it's sooo awesome when you drive down a long straight road with Jacaranda trees on either side and all you see is a purple frame around the grey tar road. *sighs* it's so stunning. (OK, so major PTA Pride going on here but I really do like Pretoria ) add: like this...

Terryville = duck...wow. here's a better example of T-ville. Ok so it is pretty, I guess. However, I've lived here since I was 6 and the reaction I usually get from living here is...'oh, didn't they have a recent drug bust?' and I respond...'probably.' I've always wanted to live in Australia, but seeing those gorgeous trees...wow...Pretoria is gorgeous!

wow...Pretoria is gorgeous! hehe! That's just from on top and end of winter, beginning spring (as in September, when the Jacarandas are in bloom) that it's that pretty. The rest of the time it's got a whole lot more colour then just the purple

Look at you all with your pretty pictures! I thought I might as well show Stafford for what it normally turns out to be like hahaha!
Yes that is our town park...the water normally is not that all over the place hahaha! Yes that is meant to be a bridge.....and that is on the main high street! Yes this picture is old as that is the old TESCO! But still hahaha got to love the River Sow!!! And I end it on the pure British belief that brown sacks full of sand can stop anything!!!!! hehehe

I wish we had even half of all that water here. We're luck if we get 100mm (that is nearing on 4 inches to those who don't know) of rain a year in South Africa. We may be surrounded by huge oceans on 3 of 4 sides but that really doesn't effect our lack of rainfall. Weird, huh?

Very strange dear chap....but then you do live there so that sort of sums it up hahaha! But you can have some of our rain hahaha as long as when you come over you bring the sun with you it will be much appreciated hahaha! According to my Grandma's gardening magazine it is going to be another wet summer *sigh* So you can take a little black rain cloud in your suitcase back home!!!

Sounds like a good plan to me. Though I'm certain that we have already nicked some as it's been cloudy and/or raining since Thursday last week. I'm absolutely loving it but there are some who aren't, say those who have to walk around the uni campus in search of someone who knows something. A futile quest if you ask me but she's full hardy and stubborn. Takes her trudging through the rain for seven hours to realised I was right in telling her to take an umbrella. bless

People will never learn will they, you must alway listen to the wise words of Miss Robyn *sigh*
I thought it rained a lot in Stafford....it is everyday in Preston you are lucky if you see the sun hahaha! But yet I still stupidly wear shoes that let in water so have to sit in lectures with wet feet...I normally put my shoes and socks on the heater haha

Ok here are some photos Nobby's Beach (hour away) I live on this big salt lake Nobby's Beach is in Newcastle, which is two hours (roughly) north of Sydney. I used to live in Sydney AND Newcastle, well not Newcastle itself but I went to school at Newcastle High. I lived in Port Stephens, the council next to Newcastle, lol. Now I reside in Melbourne and I don't have any pics... Just look up the Commonwealth game pics and you'll see, lol.

I live in a TINY TINY town called Antigo.... it's in the Northwoods on Wisconsin, USA. We have just over 8,000 people and most of them are OLD! The High School just dropped a division in sports because of the decrease in students.....
I can't find any pictures though.... -_-
I hate this town... but it's home
