Palm Beach beauty

I have to say, lately my local Aussie magazines are hitting it out of the park. This month's <a href="http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/home-beautiful/">Home Beautiful</a> not only featured <a href="http://porchlightinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-more-of-my-house.html">Hayley's</a> lovely home, but also this Palm Beach stunner.

My two youngest are in the middle of exams, which means lots of trips back and forth between home and school.

And then there's the tennis, which of course, I had to watch to support Our Sam in her first Grand Slam win. Maybe now it's all over I can concentrate on work.
