An Age of Magic

A sign of the times?

Just over the weekend I was taking a stroll around the local neighbourhood and seeing the neighbours all out in the sunshine tending their gardens. That’s one difference between here in the UK and back in Australia – here they have ‘front gardens’, in Australia we have ‘front yards’.

We live in a fairly quiet area which is not too known for breakins however I noticed how many of the neighbours have installed home alarm systems; just about every house in the area has one of those little boxes on the front of their house up near the roof with the security firm’s name on it.

As I say, we have had very few problems here but that guy three doors up needs to check his system as it goes off on an average of three times a week and boy is it LOUD!!!
