We've sold our farm, and have plunged headlong into the hellish pursuit of house hunting.
Not only are we not too sure where we want to live, but even how - should it be a smallish or large-ish bush block, or a beach house? In town(ish) or out? If any of the above, which town? North, south, in the middle?
Give me more than 3 choices and I'm history anyway.
But we did see a house on a small bush block we liked very much, today. Of course, there was an absolutely splendid stick insect on the wall by the backdoor. But I promise, that had no influence on me at all.

ReplyDeleteDid you take a picture of it? Or would that have been too disturbing for the owners and the RE agent?
None?
ReplyDeleteNone at all?
Shame on you!
;p
It's an indicator species for you surely?
:)))
No, I didn't have my camera with me, or I would have. They aren't common around here, it's only the 2nd I've seen in 12 years.
ReplyDeleteIf the RE agent thinks I'm bonkers, all to the good I reckon.
And jj, yes I did rather take it as an indicator species of showing some continuity of habitat. The block is tiny, only 1 acre, but is adjacent to National Park, Conservation Reserve and river. I have litle hope for birds (too many cats I reckon) but it might be good for invertz!
thinking thinking thinking ... but there _would_ be hope for the birds if someone like YOU moved there, I think.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and remember to take a short trip across to the eastcoast if for no other reason other than to rule it out as somewhere you'd consider relocating to.
ReplyDeleteps we have stick insects here too ;)
Or you could BOTH just meet in the middle.
