You guys! It’s almost finished! I began this hexagon rug almost as soon as we moved back to our farmhouse last July, and throughout the winter and spring, I knocked out a couple of hexagons whenever I had the chance. Last year I entered a striped afghan blanket in the local show and the year…
Good Things
ONE I picked up these gorgeous tile trivets when I was in Sydney last week with Hannah. We went to see Ed Sheeran concert last week (we gave her the tickets for her birthday in December) and took the opportunity to spend a few hours wandering the city and exploring all the things we can’t…
Pickled Cucumbers
Well, the seasons have officially changed! The sun is coming up later each day, and although it isn’t cold yet, there is a chill in the air in the morning and evening. In the garden, the vegetables are ripening quickly and although not all our crops were a success, we have more than enough fruit…
Late Summer Harvest
Oh my goodness! All of a sudden we have been inundated with fruit from the orchard and vegetables from the garden.

Happy Christmas
As I write, I’m sitting at the bench of our farmhouse kitchen, and reflecting on how much has changed this year. Twelve months ago, this bench didn’t even exist. We were madly packing in an attempt to move out of the old house ready for the renovations to start. Now I’m sitting here in our dream…
