No more soap sales + being copied

I have discontinued soap sales, at least temporarily. I have had a lot of fun over 18 years making soap and meeting so many other interesting people. Thank you everyone .
Maybe I will get back to it again later, but meanwhile I will be making only for personal use and gifting..

I went to Stanwell Park for a vintage plane flypast...

Connie and a DC 3
the planes were from Albion Park
and there was meant to be another plane
apparenly but they didnt have another pilot
....so we got two and it was still great


it would have been nice if i had decent long distance lens


the coast is beautiful and the new coast road is visible
tho you can see nothing of nothing as you drive along it.
It was a bit of a disappointment really tho i admire it from the distance


Everleigh Railway Yards....
being renovated and rebuilt










a Darlington Terrace




well i messed with all the blog layour colours

and then went and took more flower pics to make myself feel better cause i didnt get the blog right




a tree just up the road


i cant resist these part opened flowers




i hate these old style Bouganvillia bushes with a passion
........but am surrounded by them, of the loooooooooong thorns.
we had these bushes when i was kid and they are lethal. had one in an earlier house
........and still didnt like it. son nearly got spiked to death
by the huge /monster bush there
i do like the smaller plants that have been developed more recently,
with the more gentle colours


again a neighbours garden



the footpath up the street.........full of jacaranda flowers that have come down in the rain



i wish this was my white agapanthus but it is Lurls
