Thank you to those who attended the launch of <i>A Royal Murder </i>and the second edition of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The Popeye Murder </i>last week. ABC Adelaide Radio's Peter Goers had us all in stitches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was great to see so many Grange and North Adelaide lady golfers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
former ABC colleagues and so many family and friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The books are available in bookstores, through <a href="http://www.wakefieldpress.com.au/">Wakefield Press</a> as a paperback or ebook, or Amazon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And listen out for me with Peter Goers on ABC Adelaide Radio Tuesday 20th February at 9:15pm.</div>

Golf Australia are promoting nine-hole golf to attract and retain time-poor people to the great game. I was fortunate to qualify to play at the inaugural promotional event.<br />

Guilty. My first excuse is that I have been in the depths of writing my second book, A Royal Murder. I've now finished the book and it is with my editors, including my very talented daughter, Hannah, who has proved to be an amazing editor. I wish I knew as much about grammar, syntax and the craft of writing as she does. However, it hasn't all been about the book.<br />
<br />
In these last couple of months I have experienced a roller-coaster of emotions. In early October I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Whoa. Slap across the face. Brave face. Not so brave face. Scared. Crying in the shower. Crying on my daughter's broad shoulders. Crying on my brother's tall shoulders. Hugging my husband tight. Let's just get on with it. Cut it out. Do you think pathology made a mistake? How much longer have I got? Shit. Will my voice be affected permanently? You have to slit my throat open? How did this happen? You really think the radioactive cloud from the atomic bombing at Maralinga in 1957 has got something to do with it Doctor? What about the waste from the Northfield Infectious Diseases Hospital that was dumped into the local creek we used to tadpole in? Could that have caused it? Get a grip. If you have to have cancer, this is the one to have. Survival stats are through the roof. You're lucky they caught it early. Glass half full remember.<br />
<br />
I wasn't going to post anything on my cancer diagnosis on social media and particularly not on my blog, as this blog is my happy place. However, now that I'm through the worse and I'm now confident that the talented medical team around me has helped me get on top of this, and the fact that my family and friends have been amazing, I want to write on my blog to say thank you and let others know that even from the most confronting news, good can come. A lot of good and a lot of love.<br />
<br />
This diagnosis has reminded me of my mortality and of the mortality of those around me. I'm trying hard not to sweat the small stuff anymore, although surprisingly, it still can creep back in when I'm not being vigilant. And through my hospital visits and operations, I'm even more aware of how much sickness there is in the world and that there are many who are doing it far tougher than me. I'm also aware of what an amazing health system we have and how kind and dedicated the nurses and doctors are. Theirs is a vocation.<br />
<br />
This diagnosis has brought my family closer. I adore them all. My husband and daughter have been at my side both physically and spiritually. I have become closer to my brothers and been able to sympathise with my sister's painful illness more fully. It has also brought my friends closer, especially my friend Kerry who was there for me through the dark times and is still right by my side during the hopeful times. My golfing friends have been wonderful, and I have felt the hugs from my wine club friends. Other friends who I don't see as often as I should have reached out and demonstrated their love. I have been touched deeply.<br />
<br />
As for adjusting priorities after such a confronting diagnosis, I'm lucky in that I am already living the dream. I left full time work a few years ago. I am pursuing my passion to write books. I am playing golf, lunching with friends, being there for my family far more than I had been through my full-time working life.<br />
<br />
I plan to be an old lady, embracing decrepitude and frailty. Like my 94 year old mother, who we lost last year, I want to be grateful for what I have until my last breath. In the end mum was legally blind, in pain, in a wheelchair and incontinent. Get the bin bags ready Hannah. In thirty years from now you'll need to protect your furniture from an incontinent but happy and grateful old lady.<br />
<br />
They say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. It's a cliche but like all cliches, there is some truth to it.<br />
<br />
Spring in the garden is particularly beautiful this year.<br />

A couple of months ago the David Roche Foundation House Museum was opened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
David Roche(1930-2013) had two major passions in life, collecting art from the 18th and 19th century and owning, showing and judging dogs. His House Museum and Gallery in Melbourne Street pays homage to both.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
David was an avid collector of furniture, ceramics, paintings, sculpture, clocks, textiles and even hatpins! Barely a day went by without David adding to his collection. His love of dogs led him to being both a collector of dogs and a distinguished judge of dogs. A pavilion at the Royal Adelaide Show is named after David Roche.</div>

David established the Foundation in 1999. He wanted his collection to be preserved for future generations. A generous gift to the people of South Australia and Australia.</div>

Last week I visited the museum as part of a fund raiser for the<a href="http://www.theaustralianafund.org.au/"> Australiana Fund </a> My good friend Alan Smith is a Counsellor on the Fund and my former boss at the ABC, Donald McDonald is the Chair. The Australiana Fund's purpose is to purchase fine Australian art and furniture for the residences of the Prime Minister and Governor General. </div>

David was a renown collector and wanted the people of South Australia and Australia to have access to his vast collection. As such his former home, a sandstone Federation Villa called Formoy House, has become the House Museum and the modern extension situated where his dog kennels once stood, has become the gallery. More than 3,000 pieces are on display. It's like a wing of The Louvre.</div>

My sister Jean Winter has experienced mental illness since she was 20. She is now 51. The early years in the public health system were hell. It took many years and a switch to the private health system before Jean received the help she needed and was brought back to health. It is still a journey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This fictional work - Mindshadows - explores Jean's journey through a </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, the book is not just about despair but also about beauty, love, </div>

hope and the power of humour.</div>

As the name implies, The Currant Shed is a former currant drying shed. It is over a hundred years old.<br />
The shed harks back to an era when the area was planted out to vegetables and almonds more than it was to vines for wine.<br />

I am in the throngs of writing my next murder mystery, A Royal Murder. This time the murder takes place during the Australian Women's Open Golf Tournament at the somewhat eccentric Royal Adelaide Golf course - think trains and roads running through the course.<br />
<br />
Perhaps in the next post I can share the first draft chapter of the book and you can let me know if you think I'm on the right track???? <br />
<br />
I have to say that writing my second book now I'm back in my home town of Adelaide has been more difficult than writing it when I was living in Brisbane. I have so many wonderful attractions/distractions living in Adelaide with friends and family so close by that I am too easily pulled away from my writing. I feel guilty when I'm not writing my book and hence I haven't even been posting to my blog. <br />
<br />
Anyway, today I have decided to end the blog drought. During my Saturday ritual of ogling realestate, I came across a gorgeous property at Encounter Bay (adjacent to Victor Harbor on the South Coast of South Australia) that is for sale.<br />
<br />
It is one of those properties that those of us who love a coastal view and a nod to classic taste, drool over.<br />
<br />
Dream on.....<br />

The ten roomed house was built in 1901 by the Jagger family. The bluestone has been rendered in white but I'm not sure if I wouldn't return it to it's original state?<br />

I finally went along to the Miss Fisher's Costume Exhibition at Ayres House Museum on North Terrace today with a girlfriend. The Adelaide exhibition closes on Sunday 14th February and heads to Sydney where it will be at Old Government House at Parramatta from March 15th. So you better be quick if you want to see it in Adelaide.</div>

For those of you not familiar with Miss Phyrne Fisher, she is the protagonist in the Phyrne Fisher Murder Series written by Kerry Greenwood and made into a TV series for the ABC.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I discovered Kerry Greenwood about 10 years ago and had read all her books way before her murder mysteries were made into a TV series. Kerry is a wonderful writer of 'light' fiction. She also writes historical fiction and has another series with baker Corina Chapman as the protagonist.</div>

With the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries set in 1920s Melbourne, the costumes in the TV series reflect the art deco of the period. Designer Marion Boyce has made some wonderful costumes for the series as indeed she did for that recent great Aussie movie, The Dressmaker. Oscar nomination coming up!</div>

While it is a great place to dive, especially since they sunk the HMAS Hobart off shore, reports of a 7 metre white pointer shark being sighted at various points along the Adelaide and south coasts, put me off going out too far. One fisherman who spotted the great white up close said its girth was the size of a small car!<br />

The rugged rocks are also great for climbing but beware the steeper inclines. Only a couple of weeks ago three young women had to be rescued via helicopter after attempting to climb a steep section.<br />

A magic part of South Australia is the Fleurieu Peninsula and in particular the beaches at Normanville, Carrickalinga, Second Valley and Lady Bay. Every year we try to spend the week between Christmas and New Year at Links Lady Bay, golfing, swimming, barbecuing and sipping great South Australian wine. Indeed there are a few good wineries in the area, expanding the reach beyond the McLaren Vale winery region just up the road. In a future post I'll show you around Allusion Winery. They make a great shiraz.</div>

The golf course is a traditional links course designed by Jack Newton, Graeme Grant and John Spence and loosely modelled on St Andrews in Scotland. According to the Links Lady Bay golf website it is currently ranked 52 in the top 100 golf courses in Australia. It is easily the best regional course in South Australia.<br />

Just over a year ago the golf course was bought by Chinese businessman Feng Di, Chairman of Golden Horse Nine Dragon Lake Holdings, the owners of Links Hope Island and Noosa Springs Golf Courses in Queensland and 54 hole Dragon Lake Golf Resort in Guangzhou, China.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The course has improved dramatically under Chinese ownership. The company has already spent over $1 million upgrading the course, especially its irrigation systems and water regime. This part of the Fleurieu Peninsula has enormous potential but it is significantly under-developed and in desperate need of investment. I hope they buy the resort, hotel and land - it would be great for the local economy, employment and the amenities in the area. Let's hope! (no pun intended)</div>

It seems a bit odd seeing reindeer decorations and Father Christmas rugged up when we are baking in the high 30s and early 40s heat. I also find it exceedingly odd to walk into a store that is playing carols referencing a "white christmas". While somewhat cheesey, I think <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9NhL3agUaw">Bucko and Champs have the idea</a> for an Australian Christmas tune, referencing the pool, rusty holden utes and kangaroos. You must listen to it. Bucko and Champs nail it. So Aussie.<br />

Given we aren't knee deep in snow, for me Christmas means sprucing up the garden. Not that I have much room to garden nor am I very competent at keeping plants alive. However, always optimistic, a couple of days ago I was off to my favourite nursery, The Conservatory.<br />

Let's hope the mint does better in this hanging basket, despite the 39 degrees. If anything I tend to overwater and kill plants with kindness. I've already killed a fuschia and impatients in this basket through overwatering. When it's stinking hot and plants visibly wilt I just have to water! How can I not?<br />

I bought this beautiful gardenia recently and already the leaves have started turning yellow. I've given the plant some gardenia fertiliser and tried not to over water, so fingers crossed. I've been told you just need to lift the pot to check how heavy it is to determine whether or not to water. Try lifting that baby. I don't think so. Instead, I use a combination of my finger and a moisture metre probe (other than my finger), although I've been told by experts that you can't trust the metal probes.<br />

I've got a tricky area down one side of the house that only gets about 2 hours of sunshine a day. I've tried mandevilla plants but they got too wet and died, even without watering! I planted clematis a few weeks ago but already they are yellowing. I've sprayed them with a recommended fungicide spray but it's not looking good.<br />

This lemon tree on the terrace lost about half its leaves in the first two weeks in my care. I've tried to not over-water but perhaps I'm under watering? I re-potted it and the soil around the edge tends to stay damp while the root ball dries out. It is a juggle. It also gets very windy up on the terrace, so perhaps that is a factor?<br />

One plant that is positively thriving is the olive tree. Nothing I do or don't do to it interferes with its rampant growth. Perhaps I should just plant out olives everywhere?<br />

Something I am proud of is the magnolia tree. When we returned from living in Brisbane earlier this year, there were exactly 23 leaves left on this tree. I have fertilised, watered and used wetting agents. I have brought it back to health! Amazing. It hasn't flowered this year but that is understandable given the stress it must have been under. There's always next year for those big creamy flowers.<br />

Carrick Hill in Springfield is a time capsule. Bequeathed to the Government of South Australia by the owners, Sir Edward and Lady Ursula Hayward, most of the furniture, art, crockery and even clothing on display belonged to the Haywards. It passed to the state government in 1983 after Sir Edward's death. In 1986 it was officially opened to visitors as a house museum.<br />

The home was built from 1937 to 1939, following the marriage in 1935 of Edward Hayward and Ursula Barr Smith. During their honeymoon in England the couple bought a large number of pieces (including staircases and panelling) from a Tudor mansion in Staffordshire called Beaudesert that was being demolished at the time. They wanted to re-create a 17th Century manor house in the antipodes. (facts taken from the Carrick Hill brochure) <br />

Sir Edward Hayward was born into the family who owned the largest department store in the city, John Martin's. Hayward started the Christmas Pageant during the great depression in 1933. The pageant began with just 8 floats. In 2015 the pageant boasted 64 floats and 173 sets. The Adelaide Christmas Pageant has become the largest event of its kind in the world, attracting crowds of over 400,000 and televised to millions around the world. (figures via wikipedia)</div>

In multi-culturally diverse Adelaide, where Muslims came to call South Australia home as early as the 19th Century and where the oldest Mosque in Australia stands, where our Governor, himself a Vietnamese refugee, pulled from his childhood memories and sang the words of La Marseillaise, we stood for the values of diversity, tolerance and freedom.<br />
<br />
We also stood for the innocents killed in Lebanon and the many thousands of Muslims killed by ISIS terrorists in Syria and elsewhere. We stood for those impacted by and fleeing from ISIS terror; Muslims, Christians and Jews alike.<br />
<br />
I don't know what the answers are. Do we go down the non-violence path preached by Ghandi and Martin Luther King Junior or do we attack ISIS with added force? I'm not sure how the philosophies of Ghandi and Martin Luther King would have stopped previous despots like Hitler or Pol Pot, so perhaps some degree of force to combat this madness is inevitable but there must be a political solution at some point. I desperately hope our world leaders have the wisdom and capacity to bring this terror to an end soon.<br />

There is something very beautiful about hand-made glass. These beautiful pieces were given to me by a dear friend who knew I coveted them. The sugar bowl, milk jug and salt bowl are made by Adelaide glass artist Meg Caslake who collaborates with ceramic artist David Pedler. They have a hot glass studio at Uraidla in the Adelaide hills and a ceramics studio at Moonta. Both have either worked at the Jam Factory or exhibited there. Their work is also available through <a href="http://artimagesgallery.com.au/works/original_artwork/full/1857/search&artwork_artist=%22Meg%20Caslake%20and%20David%20Pedler%22">art images gallery</a> and <a href="http://www.kirragalleries.com/artists/2-glass/126-david-pedler">Kirra Galleries</a><br />

This weekend there is a lot of local media around the sale of this Georgian style home at Pewsey Vale in the Barossa Valley, under an hours drive from Adelaide. The interest stems from Martinsell Estate being a beautiful home in one of the great wine growing regions in the world and the parochial fact that it is the former home of the late Sir Alick and Lady Mary Downer, the parents of Alexander Downer the former Foreign Minister of Australia between 1996 and 2007. Alick died some years ago but Mary only died earlier this year. In an interesting twist of fate, Alexander Downer is now the High Commissioner in London, a job his father Alick occupied when Alexander was a child. But given Alexander is living in London, they have decided to sell the estate.<br />

Wondering where the name Martinsell Estate came from, I found that Pewsey Vale is named after the Vale of Pewsey in Wiltshire, England and Martinsell is a large hill on the outskirts of Pewsey. So there you go, learned something new.<br />
<br />
The estate agents believe <a href="http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-pewsey+vale-121144086">55 Wirra Wirra Road Pewsey Vale</a> could sell for as much as $2million.<br />

I've long been fascinated with colonial architecture and design. Louvres, ceiling fans, campaign furniture, palms, rattan, and even perhaps a bit of netting - all combine to set a mood of slow, languid, hot, lazy days. I could imagine myself dressed in a long flowing white cotton dress, with elegant leather sandals on my feet and perhaps a pith helmet at the ready for tackling the outdoors. In these moments, I am sitting on a large wicker chair on a wide, shady verandah, with a gin and tonic (make that a pitcher) on the table beside me.<br />

Since the early 17th century the British empire expanded to all corners of the globe, including Australia. As a schoolgirl I remember the old canvas map, occasionally pulled down in front of the classroom blackboard, being liberally dotted in pink to denote the British empire. The British colonised large parts of Africa, India, Asia, and the Americas. At its height, the British empire ruled over a quarter of the world's land and peoples. Not so today. However, the British colonial architect still resonates today, along with French and Spanish influences.<br />

I'm particularly partial to a bit of African and Asian British and French colonial myself.<br />
But going with the British African colonial, doesn't a bit of faux zebra work well? I'm not into animal heads, particular not the real ones. Indeed, I abhor game hunting. Such a disgraceful act.<br />
However, as for the zebra pattern in soft furnishings, that can work very well as a design element.<br />

<br />
While living in Brisbane we picked up this zebra patterned chair and footstool. Just the thing for the bedroom, I thought.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3WffNkzfv0joXZVBkHMCepkcUu_cjo9mW23ni_LnQ9WqgI4gJvfOka7SXr3mKvVD6O2xlj_RDsOUtWihz56E9KLbayun29dOg6ILn2wxaOVY6ltCJwNP8ZbLXVpPITbCshgsr7qbWwyo/s1600/PA140090.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3WffNkzfv0joXZVBkHMCepkcUu_cjo9mW23ni_LnQ9WqgI4gJvfOka7SXr3mKvVD6O2xlj_RDsOUtWihz56E9KLbayun29dOg6ILn2wxaOVY6ltCJwNP8ZbLXVpPITbCshgsr7qbWwyo/s400/PA140090.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
But the chair was looking lonely and needed something to tie it into the rest of the room. How about matching cushions and a throw for the bed, I mused. But where do I get zebra cushions and a throw in a matching tan fabric? Well, what did we do without the internet? I did visit a few of my favourite homeware shops but had no luck. So, I went online and found a company called <a href="https://www.uniquehomedecor.com.au/">Unique Home Decor</a> based in the Gold Coast - they had exactly what I was looking for. And even better, they source their cushions and throws from local craftsmen and women in Africa, helping to sustain local communities.<br />

It's beach weather already. It was 36 degree celsius (or over 100 degrees in the old lingo) yesterday. The hottest October day on record in Adelaide. But that is nothing to the 40 degrees recorded in northern parts of the state. <br />
<br />
The heat brings me to thinking of beach holidays or even permanent beach living. I've been fascinated with a beautiful new beach house that was built in Carrickalinga a few years ago.<br />
