XC Fairmont (Side):
I loved this car. I loved this car. It survived a theft and a massive accident, but it was never the same after the crash.

What I Listened to in 2010
To carry on the theme from last year, here’s a quick summary of the music I listened to in 2010. It’s interesting to compare to what I listened to in 2009, with only two artists appearing in both lists making 80% of the music I listened to this year, new.
Florence + The Machine was a clear winner over last year’s runner-up and mainstay Amy MacDonald with Metric, Marina & The Diamonds and Ellie Goulding rounding off the top 5.
My Top 10 (2010)
- Florence + The Machine (new entry)
- Amy MacDonald (2nd last year)
- Metric (new entry)
- Marina & The Diamonds (new entry)
- Ellie Goulding (new entry)
- Goldfrapp (new entry)
- Camera Obscura (1st last year)
- Katie Melua (new entry)
- Lady Gaga (new entry)
- 6 Day Riot (new entry)
I wonder what will be in store musically in 2011 - more of the same or a whole load of new sounds?
BMW in the Bush:
Just a quick shot of the 5 series parked up outside the cottage. Seems to like its bush setting, don’t you think? :P
View From the Cottage:
This shot was taken from the north side of the verandah. Bush everywhere and the sounds of birds filling the air.
View From the Cottage:
You wouldn’t think the cottage was on a farm with two others looking at the view from the back verandah. This area was constantly filled with amazingly colourful birds and cute rabbits.
Farmland:
The cottage is one of three on a property in Metricup about 20 minutes north of Margaret River. This is the farmland to the south of our cottage.
Prevelly Beach:
It was a lovely day for taking the dogs down to the beach. Had the opportunity to test the waterproofness (is that a word?) of my hiking boots. They did pretty well until Tonks dragged me into the surf to shin level chasing the water!
Deserted Beach:
Found this lovely, deserted bit of coastline while geocaching between Dunsborough and Busselton.
Banksia Cottage:
The front view of our accommodation for the week. Very impressed with the place and will probably stay there again. The dogs loved it!
