Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and successful 2012 from Heath, Rozzie and the team at Heatherbrae.

Firstly, we are very sad that our long time friend and owner Margaret Evans passed away in October, She was a wonderful supporter and will be very much missed. This has been another exciting year and there are many people to thank. Nothing would work without our brilliant team at home. Emma Bishop, Sappho Ransan-Elliot, Cornelia Ninx O’Mahony, Breanna Tillitzki, Georgina Caillot, Hazel Shannon, and Courtney Harris are a remarkable group of hard working, talented and highly motivated young people. They are inspiring. Gordon Bishop is not quite as young but is inspiring nonetheless! And Abigail Croyston, the place would not the same without you. Jenny Lamb is truly amazing and can turn her hand to absolutely anything. Thank you. Gary Bolton looks after the farm and mends everything we break! Peter O’Neil for our gardens. Leanne Tillitzki looks out for everyone.

Thank you to friends, clients and family who support us throughout the year.
