Keeping Busy in June

Winter has set in and June has meant harvest and pruning in my garden...

Two are orchids in flower at my back window.

I harvested my water chestnuts - thanks Rauri.

The last rose buds gathered as I pruned my roses and added lots of my lovely new soil.

Moving in at last

Elaine and I, Terry and Ellie spent Thursday/Friday this week moving into the new Underhill 'shed'.

The lounge room complete with very old Persian Rug.

The dining room

The kitchen area complete with servery

Terry and Ellie came to help move the caravan into its new position and to cut some firewood for themselves

Nothing is ever simple - the tow ball would not fit.

Luckily I was equiped with towing chain and then had to walk along beside with the solar panel

Decisions had to be made about where to put it

Here is where it ended up until we can actually move it into the carport area - reconditioned tyres needed for manouvering

 

 Sleeping in the caravan in its new temporary position was fine.

Elaine gave it a wash and now we can see out of the windows

Homemaking in our new space was lots of fun but quite exhausting.

Thank you Elaine, Terry and Ellie for coming to help with this new adventure.

Underhill - guess what we found yesterday!

Yesterday Geoff and I (and Ponyo) visited Underhill to inspect the new 'shed' and start tidying up after the building. Here are a few pics...

Two medlars were ripe and squishy. Apparently they tasted fantastic raw.

The fear of having the rooves falling on us is now over and it is amazing the new feeling both Geoff and I have for the place. I can't wait to get down there again.

There is now a lot of work to do to tidy up and tow the caravan into its new home so if you'd like to come and help some time or just come to inspect the new space please just let me know.
