@Flaneuse I like shiny new things as much as most people, but I also haunt the op shops. I had my greatest find only a few weeks ago. I was walking back from the hospital after my DEXA and went into an op shop. Fell in love with a painting and bought it for $25. Showed it to an artist friend the next day who recognised the painter. Says it's worth $500!! Great fun, but I'm never selling it, I like it too much.
I will check out Millie on Gardening Australia! I used to work for the ABC (radio) back in the day, and my husband works for them now. Small world!
