Vintage linen and a spring garden

A recently purchased vintage linen with exquisite crocheted edge

is sprucing up the top of my microwave.

I love my eclectic display

and my african violet is so pretty when it flowers

Outside, spring has sprung and our lavender walk is blooming!

 

This corner of the garden has lavender, shrubs and bearded iris' that all flower in shades of purple

Our pretty climbing pink rose is full of buds and is growing over the arch quite quickly. Hubby now says he wishes he had bought 2 so the arch would be covered quicker. I think it will be complete by the end of summer.

Gordon likes to be photographed I'm sure.

This is his sister Edie, the best mouser in the street.

You would never know they are siblings as they look nothing alike.

Gordon is better friends with our scottish terrier than his sister, as she is a bit of a loner. She does however love my husband and I, just not other animals it would seem.

Thanks for visiting.

Leave me a comment I'd love to hear from you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking for our country home...the search continues.

Even though this 100 acre farm is out in the middle of nowhere,

it is almost right next to another farm house,

so it's still like being in suburbia (in that respect).

The original owner gave some land to his son & the son built a house only a stone's throw from the house on the farm we like.

Slightly, no really annoying!

You can see the son's house on the left & the roof of the house on the farm we like through the gate to the right of it.....can you believe it?

Part of the grounds surrounding the farmhouse.

This cute as little structure is the cream shed.

This farm was formerly a dairy farm.

The farmhouse doesn't look much but inside it's WOW!

No-one currently lives in the house and it's been vacant for years.

It's in pretty much original condition

so

would

be

great to make our own.

The rooms are huge and there are four bedrooms, large kitchen and dining room, 2 verandahs, a sleepout & some extra rooms.

Also this dream walk in pantry located right off the kitchen.

It's about 1.5 x 3 metres.

The entire house is very well made and still structurally sound.

In a perfect world if we did buy this farm I would like to move the house to this spot, on the top of this hill that is higher than what it looks here.

This would make the house location about 400 metres away from the other neighbouring too close house.

The peaceful road the farm is located on.

Thanks for visiting.
