About Earl O'Neill
Freelance gardener, I've thousands of books, thousands of records, one fast motorcycle and one gorgeous smart funny sexy woman. Life's pretty darn neat.
I’ll be sure to investigate some of your suggestions Earl.
As I’ve alluded to previously ‘So Much For The City’ by The Thrills is the ultimate summer beer garden album for me. It’s sun-drenched and the perfect soundtrack for a pint.
Down here we look forward to summer as spring has had the bye!
Up here on the Ballarat Plateau we’ve had enough of the wind and rain.
As always Earl, ample food for thought (and treats for the ears).
Enjoy the summer.
