Over the weekend we went for a drive to Lanyon Homestead, just south of Canberra. There was a plant fair, and Country Boy wanted some plants for a new garden bed he has just dug over (finally one without vegetables). I just love looking at old farm homesteads, so it wasn’t too hard to twist my arm to go along too.
While CB looked at all the plants, the kids and I explored the old homestead. They were fascinated by the old blacksmith forge, the old kitchen and cellar, and so was I.
There was also a display of old farm machinery that kept a certain little boy very interested.
While my big girl buried her nose in a book. Love that we can go anywhere with a book and she is entertained.
I loved looking through the kitchen garden, and the orchard, and imagining what ours will look like one day.
I have my eye on a metal/industrial sculpture for the garden one day. With all the old farm equipment lying about, we can surely find the bits and pieces we need. There was a display of some sculptures which I just loved. Maybe I need to learn to weld!
A lovely day was had by us all – if you’re in the Canberra region – GO!
What did you get up to on the weekend??
