The delightful design of Daylesford
Soph drew it to my attention that the gorgeous house I stayed in with friends, courtesy of Penguin Books, in Daylesford last year was featured on the design files last week. You can see more of it here. You can also have a peek inside the designer’s (I chatted to her a few times on the phone and she’s very nice) own home here. Sigh. Heaven is coming, and it might have a clawfoot bath ...
Actually the real sigh about remembering Daylesford is that it was such a wonderful blessing of a time, and two of the friends who came, and I got in deep with on those few days, have now moved to Melbourne ... and our little party has broken up. I've since toyed with the idea of moving to Melbourne myself! My friends have gone there for a job lecturing at Monash University, and, as Providence would have it, my brother-in-law has taken my sister and kids there for a job lecturing on the same campus, so they have gone too. (This is him.) So yes, I have dreamt about moving to Melbourne, but at the moment it's mere fancy and I am just looking forward to a visit.
