EDITOR’S LETTER H&G
Tanya’s top five
Australian House & Garden
YOUR H&G • With my paramedic husband on night shift and our three children (all under the age of five) asleep, I’m enjoying a little me time. Sitting by the fire, cup of tea in hand – and simply devouring the latest issue of Australian House & Garden. I’m a first time subscriber and I have to say, I’m regretting not subscribing earlier! I’m drawing so much inspiration for the extension/renovation that has just got underway. What a beautiful magazine! This is bliss. Jannalee Bollinger, Bonville, NSW
