If only this pram could talk.

If only this pram could talk.  What an interesting tale it might tell. .  A number of homes and owners no doubt   Have you speculated on the history of some old objects when you see them?  No doubt this little pram has given much joy to some little children. We've planted it up with Maidenhair and Violets.  We are happy to give it  a home in it's retirement   Also pictured  Camellia Reticulata "Susie O'neill" named I think after the famous Aussie swimmer. The large blooms on these plants certainly brighten our garden in the winter,       also a shot of the beautiful town of Tumut NSW taken on a recent holiday.   Please click on photo for a larger view.
