After negotionating since just before Christmas, we have got the farm we were after. 80 beautiful acres, with native bush boarding it and some bush and a stream, with trout, on the property. Take over is the 1st May, can hardly wait, am busting my britches to get there.!! |

Lucky for me, the gourds will stay protected from the cows, and I am only about 16kms away from them. They will be waiting for me, once they have dryed off. Hopefully, I will end up with some, luffas, dippers and birdnest gourds to craft. |

Those gourd vines look so lush and beautiful - they sure will miss you!!! I'm so excited for you - it all sounds so very good...
XOXO, Libbie

Oh, Helen. That does sound perfect! I'm very pleased for you, and slightly envious - a suite for you self. Wow, now, that's crafting heaven.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! And just to let you know- I carried around all my plants in big pots last year so I could plant them when we moved. They did great and I had an abundance of tomatoes and pepers last year. So don't be afraid to start your garden in "to go" containers that you can bring with and plant when you reach your blissful 80 !

Hi Jackie, has a home on it. Plus downstairs is like a self contained unit, with lounge, bedroom abd bathroom, so that will be my space, for crafting etc.:) The property has haybarns, 2, shed thingy, and tractor shed. Plus we are quite high up the mountain, so dont get the frosts in winter. |

Good for you Helen. It sounds like a dream place.
So will you be moving soon? Does it have a house or will you build? Barns. Are the barns already? Tells us all the details.
Life is good!
