Australian House & Garden

Your H&G • Treating myself to a subscription of H&G prior to Covid-19, I never could have imagined what was about to happen. I’m in hospitality, so my worklife ceased to exist. I was filled with joy when the next month’s magazine arrived in my letterbox – it was something that had fallen to the back of my mind. I have never treasured the arrival of my monthly escape more than now. In particular, June’s issue with its ‘As You Please’ and ‘Classic Notes’ stories. These houses are so stunning I think I have browsed this issue at least 10 times. That’s value for money!
