It feels like the past month has gone by in a delicious blur.
We are "home" and it feels wonderful.
I wasn't sure how I would go with moving "home" but not home. This is such a different house to what once stood here. We've been here enough now though, that I am finding sweet, simple things that work. I will always miss the old house, but creating little spaces and places here has been wonderful.

| This table was supposed to be a temporary solution in my craft studio, but when I positioned it under Nanny's window the wood just glowed. Sitting here, creating, just makes me so happy so we've let go of the idea of built in shelving and will instead go with storage units either side of the desk. Dean is designing fairy wren stained glass for the outer top window panels and I have plans to plant the red climbing sympathie rose (that came from Nairne as a cutting, and survived the fire) outside the window. |
Today James helped me to plant the citrus trees, and the Japanese maple and two avocadoes down the front. He hung the wrapping station baskets in the butler's pantry. Only little things, but all things that make me feel like we are achieving, and like this is becoming more like home.
Life is good,
Hoping your week gets off to a good start and the sun is shining on you,
Keep smiling,
Nell
