More Animals at Bonnydoon – now Fangorn Farm
We now have four more girls – two light sussexes and two rhode island reds. The white ones are called Lily and the red ones are called Rose. Georgia named them because of their colours. Dickie should be prancing around more but Henny Penny has the upper hand. We’ve actually taken her out of […]
Wedding Anniversary
Yesterday Monte and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Here’s us when we were married – aged just 21 and 22! We celebrated with a scenic drive followed by a family picnic at Margate playground aka Du Pont Bicentennial Park, where we ‘fed’ (under duress) ducks that made Matty cry; watched boats on the water; […]
Win some, Lose some!
Early Saturday morning I heard a commotion by our door, so I checked outside by the chook ‘house’ to find something rustling around with the chickens’ laying box paper. A little black thing ran away, and I was sure it had taken a chook. In the morning, the headless chook lay helplessly by its laying […]
Georgia wins Pet Parade at Middleton Fair
On Saturday we went to the Middleton Country Fair. It was a superb day! We saw animals, visited lots of stalls of homemade crafts and produce and Georgia took Lucy in the pet parade and they won! Georgia won a scarecrow badge and some lollies because she had the cutest pet – and quite possibly […]
A day in the forest

Update
As MG stokes the fire (yes, in February) I sit listening to Lucy whine at the door and Matty playing in the playbus. It is cold but beautiful and I am happy, although I am waiting for the kids’ room to be ready. I am grateful for the genny so we can make our lattes […]
Animal Farm
Feeling happy! Me and MG at Dover beach on Aussie Day. I now know where Georgia gets her gorgeous hair from! “look at mummy! doesn’t she look funny” (ha ha) – lovely kiddies giggling Bonnydoon – serene despite ol’ Genny* running on Jerry’s* good juice. We have names for everything now. This is how […]
Arriving at Fangorn Farm
Possibly the best picture I have ever taken. Matthew is a real country feller in his overalls, with his trusty companion d’Artagnan. When we arrived at the property, the first thing we did was walk the top perimeter. That’s everybody, including the cat. It was Monte’s birthday the day we arrived. We celebrated midnight with […]
