And it goes on…
It has been nearly two years since we moved all our crap over here in a shipping container, storing it for what seems like an eternity and making-do in a tiny shack whilst we build the home about which we’ve been dreaming for the past ten years. And it goes on still, but not without […]
A bit more news
Not a lot to report, although things at the house are moving along nicely. I haven’t blogged for a month! Apologies! We are waiting for the windows: Double-glazed Western Red Cedar casement windows! They will be beautiful, and we can’t wait to get them in and have LOCK UP! I feel as though having lockup […]
A bit of news
It has been a long time since I blogged. Lots is happening. On the house front, Monte is very busy preparing the house for rendering. He is stuffing any nooks and crannies in the straw walls with a water-clay-straw concoction. He is almost done. The render that has been done is drying into a nice […]
Back Home…
It was hard to come back home again: the cold, damp caravan and the confined spaces that we’ve now been living in for 18 months. The constant drizzle and rain is fairly depressing, and I am, once again, questioning myself. Why on earth did I choose to move to this place? I happen to like […]

The lazerlite sheeting is now fixed on our carport and both verandahs. It is wonderful to have some shelter from the rain (ever looming, ever present, bloody rain). The lazerlite is clear […]

We were planning a gradual slaughter and roast dinners for five weeks or so. We are bitterly disappointed, as these chooks were being fattened up for […]
Easter
Matthew and Georgia with their Easter loot: 0700hrs Happy Easter. I have been thinking a lot about the religious philosophies behind all these holidays we celebrate. Another Easter went by when we did not go to church. This was partly because we escaped the confines of the cabin for a picnic with friends at Margate, […]
It’s a boy thing
I have not posted for a while, and for this I apologise, but life is busy in the fast lane. I am looking forward to the break over Easter – here in Tassie, we have a week school holiday before another month or so of Term One. Then we’ll have a three-week holiday! Everything seems […]
