You can see the artist in the photograph below is in the process of finalising the base of this entry for the International Sandsculpting Competition. Aren’t the sand sculptors clever!
If you haven’t already do so, take the time out to drop by and see them on The Terrace, Windsor…rain, hail or shine, they are there 馃檪
Enjoy.

Betty White is celebrating her 90th birthday today. When I was growing up watching the television sitcom聽“The Golden Girls” was my first introduction to her acting skills…I still have a chuckle watching that show if there is a re-run on t.v.聽 White was just 63 when she landed the role that really made her a household name:聽Rose on Golden Girls. And she just seems to get better with age.
The same is true for some homes, especially Heritage Homes.聽 In the Hawkesbury, we are very lucky to have a considerable number of heritage homes dating from as late as 1800s to the early 1900s which formed part of original farms and dairys etc.聽
These homes not only have street appeal but their聽gardens have had the time to develop and mature to a beautiful collection of plants over the years.
This street appeal and established gardens are always a winner with buyers as they can move straight in.聽 Equally, sellers聽enjoy a premium price from the combination of those two items alone.
Happy Birthday Betty from everyone in the Hawkesbury!

Sometimes when we are looking for that perfect home we can become despondent with the process.聽聽You know how the story goes…you have looked at 10 homes each week for the last month and nothing seems to suit.
The house always looks fantastic in the photographs, is the right price, but when you get there it is under power lines…the list goes on.聽 I am sure you聽may have聽experienced this聽or perhaps seen friends or family go through this process.聽
When searching for that perfect home, if there is one聽piece of advice聽that I would offer聽you and that is a saying my father has shared and I love,…”Never, never, never give up”.
Often we come so, so聽close to our goal of home ownership, personal, professional or financial, or whatever you may be聽striving for in your life, but we simply聽just give up.
Sometimes things won’t always work out the way you want, but don’t give up, stay determined and maintain that laser聽beam focus on what it is you want to achieve.
When you don’t give up, you cannot fail.
Enjoy the video.

Cute home in the historic centre…would you be tempted to inspect these homes with Ellen?
A small percentage of real estate agents have been known for sensationalised advertising…I mean artistic licence, when it comes to what they say about a home for sale.
When looking for that perfect home, I always find it helpful to ensure that the agent you are working with sends you as much information about the property prior to your inspection. This will help you two-fold. Once you have seen more photographs, a floor plan of the home and hopefully a copy of the contract for sale, you will get a much better idea of what is actually on offer and whether you would like to take it to the next step of the buying process… an inspection of the home.
This saves you a lot of time inspecting homes that may have sounded perfect in the advertising but just don’t cut the mustard on your list of “won’t compromise” for your perfect home.
Need any help working out what to look for in your perfect home? I have a property evaluation sheet I am happy to share with you. This helps identify what you truly want in a home in a simple one page format.
Happy house hunting.
