Update!


Lots has been happening at Candlestick Farm... in rushes of enthusiasm .....good weather and slowly extending daylight hours.
Trees have been planted. Lots of them. Two Tulip Trees in the garden.
And two whose name escapes me have gone into the Chook Pen for some Summer shade
 Some Bulbs are finally budding
As the last of the wild daffodils wilt in the paddocks
Lattice and boring difficult bits have tediously been painted
And a fabulous winding path has been dug down to our Silver Birches
Ending in a circle of benches and lamp posts! More to come as this develops! A perfect place for Summer night bbqs!
Blossom is blooming everywhere!!!............
 The chook pen has undergone a revamp............
Now complete with bird scaring owl sentinel to scare the Wedgies away!
 As well as a few bones, feathers and skulls for a bit of variety and humour!
The poly tunnel is bursting with lettuce and peas..............
And plenty of seedlings are on the way!
40 grape vines have gone in............and.....................
Phew!!!!That's all folks!!!

Pony for a present!

Today on his birthday (whether he liked it or not!) Geoff became the proud (??) official owner (in the eyes of the Welsh Mountain Pony & Cob Society of Australia Inc ) of Cazebo Mack also known as Max!.
So now......(whether he likes it or not!!!) he is fully responsible for Max's bad behaviour, his tantrums and his sulks. l no longer claim any responsibility for the little terror and gladly and happily pass this over to my dearly beloved. Happy Birthday Geoff! xx
