Ess Cox: A Sense Of Place II
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-sense-of-place-ii.html
Life, style and Grace. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. A Sense Of Place II. Six years ago I began writing this blog. As I recently admitted, I haven't exactly been prolific. I still struggle with what it's meant to be about, how much I should reveal of the private self, and that English self-consciousness that prefers to be 'seen and not heard'. Imogen, my moody teenage daughter, would shrug at this point and say, 'whatever'. Had this to say about the house in 1988. WHEN IT SOLD IN 2012:. I don't think either col...

Ess Cox: Griffith
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2014/05/griffith.html
Life, style and Grace. Friday, May 9, 2014. The Gent's parents recently relocated to Griffith. It was one of those unwanted decisions, taken late in life and in the face of depressing alternatives. They bought a huge house with a small garden, and seem to have surprised themselves, so taken are they with their new home. It's a big relief. They have no time for history or architecture, or anything old, really. But I loved some of the buildings in Banna Avenue, Griffith's main street. A Sense Of Place II.

Ess Cox: Easter not quite over
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2014/05/easter-not-quite-over.html
Life, style and Grace. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Easter not quite over. I'm taking the decorations down today.honestly. The wreath has already come inside. It's ambling it's way into the leather suitcase (my great grandmother's, Della Milne) where I keep the Easter tit bits. BLUE PETER ALERT] I made the wreath from a coat hanger, covered in some duck cotton and printed linen, book leaf leaves and hung with more gilded eggs. It was super fast and easy to make, what with the help of a hot glue gun.

Ess Cox: January 2009
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Life, style and Grace. Thursday, January 1, 2009. Can you see the four children on the left, and the balloon caught in the tree, to the right? We walked to the Oval today with our neighbour's children, carrying a basket of Hal's home made paper aeroplanes. He was hoping to fly them into the duck pond and see how they fared as flying-planes-that-are-also-boats. On the Eve, I stayed up beyond the witching hour, and was surprised (in our very quiet street) by all the fireworks, cheering.and running. Home Ou...

Ess Cox: April 2008
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Life, style and Grace. Thursday, April 24, 2008. In my last post I considered Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, a designer working almost 100 years ago in Paris, France. Contemporary copies of his work are available in the United States, underscoring the endurance of his design and style. He has floated with me all week, and there are a few more images relating to Monsieur Ruhlmann that I'd like to share. The romantic Chateau de Gourdon. I read about Gourdon in the British edition of. Do you recognise Ruhlmann's.

Ess Cox: November 2008
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Life, style and Grace. Sunday, November 23, 2008. News of the impending decorations has drawn enthusiasm from Sydney, England and possibly New Zealand. After almost scorching ourselves with the hot glue gun, then asphyxiating ourselves with the silver spray, the children and I have made countless tiny silver things for the Christmas tree. Hal is taking some to school tomorrow, for the classroom tree. Boy, Room 3 is lucky. Call me crazy, but I'm not starting a small 'quangdong' business yet. Imogen and Ha...

Ess Cox: August 2010
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Life, style and Grace. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Jellicoe House is a delicious mixture of simplicity and sophistication. The Barossa B&B belongs to Sorby Adams Wines. And is run by the fabulous Simon and Helen Adams. We went there to celebrate my 40th birthday with some very special friends. Jellicoe House is nestled against the gentle slope of an Eden Valley vineyard. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Currently By My Bed. The Adventures of Tartanscot.

Ess Cox: Photos from the Hawkesbury
http://esscox.blogspot.com/2014/04/photos-from-hawkesbury.html
Life, style and Grace. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Photos from the Hawkesbury. I can't take credit for all the photos. Or many of them. The Blighters took most of them. They have their grandfather's eye. Blue Mountains supply the background here. I love the look of this farmhouse, which we can see from the playing field near our house. Lulu Crisp II, pugavoodle, now almost 3 years old, but just as stupid as ever. And loveable. Graves from the Ebenezer church yard. A place for further, future exploration.
