On Saturday we became proud owners of a mid-19th century map of Australia - a Christmas present courtesy of Ma Preston. We picked out the relic at Brighton Antique Print and Maps. The map was created by the German mapmaker Carl Ferdinand Weiland and is allegedly from the 1860s. However, given that Weiland died in 1847, either the date or the creator is in question.

We also acquired some greenery for the balcony on Sunday - olive and lemon trees, along with a couple of rose bushes.
