escape at the end of a busy day. Come
home to privacy and seclusion, down a
long driveway in leafy established gardens,

is yours to enjoy. Winters are warm and cosy,

gorgeous garden views, a heat-pump for
climate control and large sliders to covered
outdoor living.
A large conservatory provides another
sitting area, while space for additional
living off the dining room adds flexibility for
growing families.
There are three double bedrooms and
adjacent to the master bedroom is an extra
room, currently utilised as an office, which could
be converted into a fourth bedroom.
Exceptional outdoor living enables maximum use
of the securely fenced grounds which also include
vege gardens, a shed and an extra-large double
garage with workshop and carport, plus plenty of
additional parking.

Let’s enjoy 2019!
and be a little more
green and mindful
Happy 2019. I’ve learnt that most people fit into
two camps when it comes to acknowledging a
New Year and the concept of setting New Years
resolutions. They either embrace them and jump
in with the zeal of someone slightly demented(
I’m probably in that camp) or they sideline the
opportunity, comfortable in the knowledge that the
year will be what it will be and that no amount of
forced change,good intent or actions can be carried
out for 12 whole months on a wish alone.
In fact an American survey conducted in 2018
found that up to 32% of people don’t set any
form of resolution at all seeing little value in
the process and no likelihood of an outcome.
I’ve never been able to see things through
the lens of relax, breathe then wait and see
but I’m aware that for some individuals that
is a positive choice, however in business this
could see you falter. Things change, markets
move either up or down, client expectations
grow, technology progresses forward and
expectations get bigger year on year.
A new year gives you the chance to really take
stock, to review where you’ve been, I always
do this with someone I trust implicitly, and
then work out where you want to go.
You can consider the challenges, the game
changes, the small wins and the larger
victories. They will all be there and each of
“Carry out a random
act of kindness, with no
expectation of reward, safe
in the knowledge that one
day someone might
do the same for you”
PRINCESS DIANA
these will provide great insights as to what
comes next. That’s where the resolutions come in
or they do for me. Statistically the most common
resolutions involve : weight loss ( been there)
and let’s face it who hasn’t, eat healthier (another
tick)exercise, read more, make more, save more
it’s always something more. Bill Gates once said “
most people overestimate what they can do in a
year and underestimate what they can do in ten”.
This year personally and in business I’m mindful
of the word and nature of less.
As a company it’s got us focused on some of the
finer aspects of less.
Less paper, less waste, less stress, more
community involvement, and more mindfulness.
I’m looking forward to it and I’m heartened by the
fact all of us are aware of the need to be kinder
to ourselves, our community and our planet. So
those are some of my resolutions but I couldn’t
go into 2019 with out some of the old favourites
(which I’ll keep to myself )but I will finally give
up on backing a trailer or worse the boat!! No
amount of intention will change the fact that
I’m terrible!
Whatever school you subscribe to all the best for
2019, it will be no surprise that the year will be
what ever You expect it to be.
