My family has a history with the
Hunter Valley
do you remember Ambrose and Bridget Rotton?
their Grandson, a few times removed,
Walter Rotton arrived in Sydney,
via Tasmania, in 1821
He had quite a history
which is a story for another time
but he was one of the early settlers
in a town called Maitland
and he had a beautiful daughter
named Jane (Granny Singleton)
who in 1844 married a gentleman
named John Singleton
John's father, Benjamin, was one of the first settlers
in the beautiful Hunter Vally
and in fact the town of Singleton still carries his name.

SO
I was looking for somewhere to live in Singleton
after all it does have a lot of family history
and I found
it sits on 85 acres (and has horse yards Renee!)
the gardens are spacious
and the pool and it's surrounds
are big enough to cater for my entire family
You guessed it!
it's that red again
but in this instance they have carried the same
colour almost all the way through
colour almost all the way through
with lots of white I don't think it is too heavy, do you?
even the bathroom
Although someone in the family obviously didn't want red!
I have that dressing table and at present I am wondering
if I will paint it white, yes...no?
I am not sure about the red carpet but heck I'm not going
to be that picky!
I really love this house it has that look of being there for
a while, I love all the white and the red and most of my
furniture would fit in
Now all I need to do is win the lottery
so we can have some money to live on
goodnight
Oooh, Mama! Win the lottery and then this can be me! http://www.ralphlaurenhome.com/default.aspx
