Our scaffold comes down, the windows are a lot easier to get in without it. All the weatherboards that can be put in prior to the window installation has now been done.

Chris came out and raised the earth around the front of the house and raised the path. It is much easier to get in and out now.

The “gang fence” iron has been taken down and replaced with Oregon pailings. It looks much better.

Lovely neighbour Dianne has given me some wonderful flowers from her yard. Look at all the different colours!

Rowan and I get to live in a real house for the long weekend. Our neighbours in Herbert Chris and Ferne have this amazing earth house and lots of animals. We are house/pet sitting, with one dog, two cats, one wild pig, 40ish chickens and countless sheep. Chris who is our very talented digger driver pretty much built the whole house himself. Ferne who is an artist shines throughout with some really cool quirky features. I would show you inside but I haven’t asked permission so I don’t want to breach their privacy. However I do believe it has been in a magazine so you could possibly find some images online.
