We have a 16 month old and have noticed our needs have changed so much since he was born that am always looking for inspiring new ways to make our home functional.

It went something like this - it was precisely 4 deg C at the time of reading yours yesterday morning with snow flurries in the air in Ballarat. How I would love to spend a little more time outdoors like you, it looks heavenly. We are looking forward to some sun soon. Your young man is growing up handsomely indeed. Your life looks very content.

Sounds shallow I guess, but I feel like I know you so it's nice to see your photos. Jamie is growing up so quickly, handsome little fellow isn't he. Pickled pork was often on the table when I was growing up (56 yo) and I still cook it and so do my adult kids. I adore it, I think it's much nicer than ham. Especially with pickles. Loved seeing all these pics, have a lovely day, Kathryn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-20417137317981044142017-09-06T06:40:33.420+10:002017-09-06T06:40:33.420+10:00Thank you so much for generously sharing the world...Thank you so much for generously sharing the world you have created behind your gate.

I love the look of those Berliners Rhonda and what a great idea to have them ready to cook from the freezer. Doughnuts are such a treat. I'll check your blog to see if you have put the recipe up somewhere. I think I will invest in one of the Compost buckets as well. It is really nice looking at your photos, they tell an interesting story.

I love your verandah and your warm/cozy nook where you have your tea! It makes me want to come sit with you for a while.;) But that would mean a trip across the ocean!:) So I will just enjoy your pictures instead. Gracie looks like she works so hard and has such a big job keeping busy as your guard dog! How adorable she is! <br />I hope you do more posts with lots of pictures like this one.
