“If you have a hankering for rural relocation, there’s really no excuse not to GIVE IT A SHOT.” For many of us, the lure of open spaces and the unspoiled beauty of the country seems to be getting stronger and stronger. I know a lot of readers will be taking some time this year to reassess where they live, how they blend work and life – is it ‘bleisure’ or ‘bleasure’? We are all trying to make some clever and solid life decisions. And it is not that easy – apparently, a number of us are experiencing post-Covid brain fog and are unable to process as well as we used to! Making a tree change or sea change is a monumental decision, and just how do you make it? I guess it’s…

BRIGHT FUTURE I’ve been a H&G reader for some time now, but my interest in your magazine has spiked recently – because I have purchased my own home. I’ve been soaking in every detail of every page. The images are inspirational, but I find myself drawn to each homeowner’s story and journey. I particularly loved the June issue’s focus on all things white, as there was something on every page for me to note. It’s going to take my husband and I some time to renovate and redecorate, but I know I’m in good hands with my monthly copy of H&G. Laura Fleming, Highbury, SA TIMES CHANGE Sitting and reading H&G over lunch, I’m reminded of how life has changed. Gone are the days when H&G travelled with me in the car and was…

Self-described ‘textile maverick’ Tigger Hall is a passionate collector, gathering objects and ideas from her life, past and present, and weaving them together into a richly layered tapestry. On a recent trip to Paris, Tigger squeezed two zinc finials into her bag and they now grace her roofline, the final flourish on her renovated home in NSW’s Southern Highlands. “I have collections from all over the world,” she says. “These objects are imbued with the memories and connections to people and places. I also love a sense of surprise in a home, some little thing to make you smile and look again.” This repurposed home, a once-modest 1970s bungalow, makes everyone “look again”. It stirred strong emotions when the design doyenne first saw it in 2020. “On a rainy day, my daughter and…

“I WANT TO PAINT LIKE MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER.” FIRST HOME YOU OWNED? ‘Kelmscott’ in Tecoma, Melbourne, a gorgeous home built by a shipwright in 1880 and set in a half-hectare of English garden. This house and garden remind me of it. BUCKET-LIST DESTINATION? Horse riding in Argentina over the top and into Chile. I rode the last portion of the Camino de Finisterre in Portugal with my sister a few years ago – it was wonderful. SIGNATURE DISH YOU ARE KNOWN FOR? Anything by chef Yotam Ottolenghi, cooked in my fabulous Aga (5). DREAM RESTAURANT TABLE? Aria in Sydney. The view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge never fails to surprise. Matt Moran always delivers deliciousness. It’s a great place to take overseas guests. ARTIST YOU MOST ADMIRE? My great-grandfather Lindsay Bernard Hall (2). I…
