Bradshaw Street



Deborah's house in Bradshaw Street, Golden Point has been sold. It was such a joy living there and we both did a lot of artwork over a 10 year period. Actually, we alternated between Abbotsford and Ballarat over that time but now both of our houses are sold and we are living in a much larger house in Eureka Street, Ballarat East. 

The main reason for this change was that we needed a bigger space to put our artwork and our art collection of other artists work, so this new abode is a welcome new chapter in our life. Alice, our magnificent cat. also thinks highly of her new premises. 

Most of this year has been taken up with houses, so it will be good when things settle down to a better normalacy
