One of the things I’m loving about our farmhouse is the kitchen, and now that the weather is warming up, I’m keen to get food in from the garden and start cooking again. Unfortunately, September is a bit of a sparse month in the garden. We do have a little kale and brocolli, but not…
It's been quite an effort, but at last, I've got part two of our farmhouse tour together. Last time I was talking about our farmhouse renovation, I got as far as showing you the outside, explaining ...
It feels like ages since I've shared an update from our garden. Probably because it has been largely neglected these last 8 months while we focused on getting the farmhouse renovated. However, now ...
This post has been a long time coming. Six years in fact! Now that we are finally here in our farmhouse I can tell you it has been hard but totally worth the effort. Our farmhouse was originally ...
It's been four weeks since we moved back to our freshly renovated forever farmhouse, and we are starting to settle. Starting to remember where things are kept, and to develop little routines and ...

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 the renovation was up to last time here). The roof is now on, the…
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 spent the weekend with my family and then went to the Easter show on Monday. The…
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 old house, while at the same time create a home that meets our modern lifestyle needs. We are acutely aware that…
