Hello! Long time between blog posts! It seems that this little (ha) renovation of ours is taking up all our time and energy these days and though I have good intentions to blog all about it, I just don’t get there. Oh well. The renovation is going well though. I’ve been sharing the occasional progress…
It's been a few months since I last updated you on our farmhouse renovation, and my goodness, I have a lot to show you! We're not in yet, but it feels like the end is in sight (you can check out where ...
Hooray for holidays, and not a moment too soon. On Friday afternoon Hannah and I left school 30 seconds after the bell rang, and we were on the road to Sydney within 15 minutes of us getting home. We ...
The transformation of our old farmhouse into a home for this century is continuing along well. Throughout the process, we have tried to balance our desire to maintain the history and integrity of the ...
Ahhh March. Autumn. At last. After a long hot summer, the days are starting to get shorter and cool down a little. Somehow, there is the feeling of Autumn in the air and not a moment too soon. Autumn ...
It's never been my intention to rave on and on about our farmhouse renovation, but boy oh boy, it is looking exciting at the moment. It hasn't been without a few little hiccups, and we have a long way ...

January is usually my favourite month of the year. A chance to slow down and recharge before hitting the new year at work and school. Not so much this year though. Although we have certainly had some fun, slowing down hasn’t really been on the agenda. We spent a fabulous week on the central coast…
So it turns out that trying to finish a crochet woollen blanket in the middle of a January heat wave and while moving house is not ideal. Who knew?? Ideal or not, the blanket I have been working on for the last 6 months is finally finished, and I must say I’m pretty happy with it….
Hello from Magic Beach – our fave place to spend a Summer holiday. Magic Beach, of course, is not it’s real name, but the kids call it that after a book of the same name. We arrived before New Year’s Eve, and have been spending our time swimming, reading, playing board games, and generally relaxing….
What a crazy end to the year! As I type this, I’m surrounded by boxes all labelled (one with ‘bord games’ written on it), and ready to move. CB has gone to get the farm truck, so we can put the boxes on the back and drive them up the road to the house we…
