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…
Country Life
Lately
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…
Autumnal Pleasures
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 is always our busy season. Between harvesting the produce that has grown in the garden and orchard…
Taking Stock | February 2017
We’ve been back at school for almost 3weeks now. Toby and Meg have been doing swimming lessons every day, while Hannah has been settling into a rhythm for high school.

Designing Our Home For Our Life
Well, we are (finally) on the cusp of beginning our renovation. All things being equal, the builder plans to start in the next week (insert excited squeal here). We will have to move out of the house after Christmas for about four months while the inside is reconfigured, and hopefully, we will be settled into…
Things I Like | November 2016 Edition
My goodness, the year is shooting by. Just four weeks left until school finishes up, not that I’m counting *ahem*. After a wet, wet winter and spring, November has suddenly sprouted some warm weather, and outside, the paddocks are turning from green to golden yellow. It happens gradually so that you hardly notice at first….
