Now that the festive season is behind us, we finally feel settled and that this is indeed our home.
We are very lucky to still be on holidays and it has been great to have a few days to potter around and get some of the less urgent chores done.
Or...just do nothing....hahah, like that would ever happen!

Today I plan on conquering the study, which still has a few boxes to unpack...however the fact that I am writing this is evidence of my procrastination perhaps.
Our garden is going really well inspite of the hot weather. Those poor roses that have lived in pots for two years have taken off and are flowering like mad.
I do think the 20 bags of sheep manure have been a wise investment as the plants are thriving.
A final shot, we are loving the blackbutt floors. Great call Craig!
(I have to admit that I was keener on travertine but am VERY glad we went with wood)
The front is almost done now. We are just waiting on the fencing contractor to replace the super six with the colorbond that is cluttering up the garage.
We can then plant the flowering plums (Crimson spires) down the driveway garden.
The back is coming along also, even tho summer must be the worst time to plant a new garden.
Progress in the vege garden, two tiny capsicums already :)
The herb garden has already been used quite a few times!
Today Craig put up our weather vane.
A neighbour at our previous house had a similar weather vane that I admired, Robyn had this gorgeous copper vane shipped out for us from Italy.
He is beautiful and already starting to take on a lovely verdigris patina.
Inside we have started putting a few things up on the wall and it is starting to feel more homely.
Our rug that Greg and Rhonda brought us back from Saudi had been given a new home.
We even have a bed...haha..sorry Muzz, the pillows are a bit messy!
