My oldest daughter who has two little girls under the age of two and my youngest daughter who recently sat the Gamsat Examinations (to qualify for Med. post grad) were my companions. Our destination was the <a href="http://cabaritaoceanretreat.com.au/" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; color: #009eb8; display: inline; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s;">Cabarita Ocean Retreat</a></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"> We landed at Coolangatta airport where a driver met us and drove us to the retreat - just 20 mins away. The complex is literally meters from the ocean and there is the most beautiful beach. We enjoyed three days of gluten free, sugar free eating but never felt hungry. </span><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 4px; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We had our first official site meeting in Bowral. We received some bad news. The soil base had been compromised by the demolition. The engineer insisted that 163 holes would need to be drilled and concreted which would result in a solid base upon which the house will be built. This has incurred extra costs which we had not bargained for unfortunately - not the best way to begin a project.</span></div>

At the site meeting on Tuesday, decisions regarding final choice of bathroom fittings had to be made .... eeeeek.... as I get older I seem to be more and more indecisive. I have struggled endlessly with a final decision regarding the flooring through the house. Entry - wooden floors. Kitchen/breakfast - tiles or wood .... Gallery which is a wide passage connecting one side of the house to the other .... tiles. On the one hand, I rather love the black & white tile look in a kitchen but not in the breakfast/TV room area - where I would prefer wooden floors. These two areas flow into each other so there would be a join. Anyway... I wont bore you with these endless choices, but suffice to say that I am boring everyone else within my orbit!! I am also rather obsessed with fabrics and my current fave is William Morris ... don't ask me why ... I think his designs are wonderful.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have had to exercise enormous patience waiting for the demolition of the old house to be completed. A drive-by every two days has not managed to hurry things up at all!. As a consequence, we have visited Sydney quite a bit in the past two weeks. Last week, a friend and I went to see War Horse - the theatre production. We were spellbound throughout the performance, after which there was a standing ovation. Hand fulls of tissues were essential as the magnificent puppetry conveyed the emotions of the horses - quite extraordinary. The war scenes depicted were incredibly real as a result of fantastic lighting, sound and puppetry.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's a bit exciting visiting Sydney and having the chance to window shop and walk the streets, in between a coffee or two. I've grown to love this city, but not quite as much as the Southern Highlands! I was given a couple of very beautiful scarves for my 60th birthday last year and I wore one of them last week - something I never seem to do on the farm!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bunny and Penny were extremely naughty in Sydney. While we were out one day, Penny (and perhaps Bunny) spent considerable time trying to get a tennis ball out from beneath the sofa. The evidence in the photo below might explain why I was extremely cross with both of them. They hate Sydney, and I am really worried about the coming months we will be spending there while our new house is being built. They both fall into a decline and mope about as if their lives are about to end!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">These past weeks have been both busy and quite exciting. The latter because we have appointed a builder to build our new house. We have bought an old house in 'old Bowral' .. which is coming down and we will be building a new one in it's place. I quite like the existing house. It has two bay windows, is full brick and I thought it would renovate well. But as we investigated further, it became apparent </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> that the damp problems were pretty serious. The builder told us that starting again would be cheaper in the long run.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Over the next months, I will be sharing the building experiences and developing house... deliberating over decisions and ideas. I do feel that I could be presumptuous in assuming that you all might be interested! I will however, have these posts to reflect back on when the projects reaches the end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Below are a couple of pics of the old house. The elevations have been drawn by Andrew Bell. This is the second house that we are working on together and as before, it is a pleasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The old house sits on a 1500sq meter block and it faces North.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love the new plans and am so looking forward to the whole project! We are in the process of making many many decisions. I know that the lovely Heidi of <a href="http://adelaidevilla.blogsot.com.au/">Adelaide Villa</a> knows all about this as she is in the process of renovating her lovely home in Adelaide at present.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The demolishing team have been taking the old house apart for the past 10 days and I will show pics of the empty block in the next post! </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have found that Pinterest has been a wonderful place to find and store ideas! I am presently dreaming of ideas for the new garden.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before I can really begin enjoying things I still have the move to face. We have lived on the farm for 8 years and there is an enormous amount of clearing out and organising to get on top of. Happy days!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some of you might have read that we have sold South Acres Farm. We have lived here for eight years, have renovated the old house and created a beautiful 5 acre garden from scratch. We would have loved two more years but it sold sooner than expected. I will miss the quiet of the countryside, the clean air, misty afternoons, the birds and even the cows!. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The interesting thing about the 'missing' of something, is that this 'missing' seems to happen before the actual separation occurs. I have had a lovely quiet reflective day here on the farm. The perfect morning - warm and breezy was a good reason to take a cup of tea outside and enjoy the birdsong and the soft light....first signs of autumn. After sitting awhile and feeling a little nostalgic about things, I took the camera and started wandering around the garden accompanied by Bunny and Penny, looking closely and remembering the planning and planting of each and every tree and plant. Below are a few of many many photos taken today and some memories and thoughts </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The herbaceous garden at South Acres Farm gives a special performance during January and February. Unlike any other part of the garden, the colour-scheme is apricot, pale yellow, cream, bronze and red. </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Gertrude Jekyll who designed over 400 gardens in her time used these warm colours in many of her designs. This colour scheme is not usually a popular choice with most people preferring blue, pink and white. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">When planting up the border, I struggled at first with plant choices and it was when I decided to compliment the old stone wall of the cottage which looks onto this border and has similar tones, that everything fell into place. </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The border lies to the west of the house, exposing it to very hot afternoons, and the plants have coped very well, proving Gertrude's theory that "hot colours" do very well in these conditions! </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Surprisingly, this area of the garden doesn't really require much work as it is densely planted, not allowing much space for the weeds. As with any herbaceous border, there are usually two big "cut-backs" a year - a task I really enjoy! </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">When first planting up the border, we had huge problems with clay and water-logged soil and had to re-plant and dig these beds over a few times before the plants began to thrive. The hero in this part of the garden is undoubtedly the David Austin's climber - Crown Princess Margareta. John has managed to get this rose to climb up the stone wall and it really is a magnificent sight to enjoy while walking up the garden path to the front door. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was thinking, while lying in bed this morning, that this is the first week in probably 5 months that I honestly don't have anything to do although I know it is the calm before the storm as we have to move off our farm by 26 April. As the family all left the beach house last Saturday, there are no early morning squeals from the little girls, prompting me to rise and shine and get on with breakfast! It is absolute bliss just knowing I can lie in bed for a while although I do miss the happy mayhem of the past few weeks!</span></div>

Apart from washing all of the salt off the screens, the house is now gleaming! Very gratifying I can tell you!! Tomorrow brings more heat I believe and I guess we will do more of the same.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really can't believe that it's January 2013! I haven't written anything for ages... New grandchild, Christmas family holidays... a new computer, ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2012 was a very busy year with a great deal of travel and sadly a great deal of tragedy for many of our close friends who lost their beloved children. It is almost impossible to understand the devastating tragedy of losing ones child... and even more so that our dear friends Patrick and Emma lost both of their beautiful daughters in an horrific car accident in Morocco. Life does go on though and for us t</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">he highlight of the year was the birth of Arabella - born in November. She is now 7 weeks old and is just perfect in every way. Newborn cries, burping, unsettled tummies, mummy's blues, cooking, shopping and toddler's antics was my happy life for most of November and December. My daughter Sarah's mum-in-law was also part of the necessary support team as Kitty was only 18months old when she Arabella born.</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Christmas at the beach house was a very happy celebration with little girls having pram races on the deck on Christmas morning. The turkey this year came from <a href="http://www.victorchurchill.com/">Victor Churchill</a> in Woollahra. Victor Churchill is no ordinary butcher.... As one steps inside from leafy Queen Street in Woollahra, the marble floors, wooden panelling, rock-salt walls, glass, copper, leather and more all make for a very unusual butchery experience! One gets the feeling of buying something really special ... a treat for the weekend, Christmas, or the perfect ingredient for a family supper. I want to do a special post on this wonderful butchery..... soon!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We had a quiet reflective New Year's eve - discussing ways of keeping to our resolutions which created much amusement!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">An early morning trip to Lucky's Fish shop in Ulla Dulla </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">on New Year's eve provided the evening meal. Snapper fillets cooked on the </span><span style="font-size: large;">Bbq</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">, stir-fried prawns with ginger, garlic and coriander, sauteed potatoes and a big green salad. Finished off with tubs of home-made ice cream from the deli in </span><span style="font-size: large;">Mollymook</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> - our local town. The well known chef, Rick Stein has a restaurant in </span><span style="font-size: large;">Mollymook</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> - at </span><a href="http://www.bannisters.com.au/" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Bannisters</a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A happy daily routine of breakfast/beach/pool/sleep/lunch/ play/beach and dinner has been all part of this very happy family holiday and </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I do really feel blessed having my family together, sharing these celebrations as well as the laughter and delight of the little grand-daughters. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Here's wishing everyone who reads this blog, all the very best for 2013... blessed with good health, peace and happiness.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">THE SPRING GARDEN AND MIXED FEELINGS!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Posts have been rather scarce on my blog recently! We returned from a wonderful river cruise in Europe 3 weeks ago and catching up with the family and jetlag have probably been the culprits!</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I have mixed feelings in posting the photos of our spring garden at South Acres this morning because we have sold our lovely farm. Looking at these photos, I am reminded of the huge amount </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">of work we have put into the garden over the past eight years. This will be the last spring and summer here and I do feel rather sad. </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">If I want to continue blogging, I shall now have to change the name of the Blog too! We are not leaving the Southern Highlands, but the Blog name will have to change. A name I have in mind is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"The Lime Walk"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">...It is quite difficult to find a decent name these days as most are already taken! I am considering getting a professional to help me design a new layout for </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"The Lime Walk"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> as the current format seems to tricky to navigate in terms of leaving comments etc. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Anyway... below are the photos and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them! We have an Open Garden this coming weekend, so the few weeds you see on the pathways will have to go!! Sorry there are so many photos too!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The suburb of Constantia in Cape Town is where some of Cape Town's most beautiful homes can be found. One of these belongs to a very good friend. The family have lived there for 15 years in this eclectic and welcoming space and are now considering down-sizing. The rambling house, sitting on two acres, creates an impression of stately elegance while being both unassuming and inviting. The house is built in the African Colonial style, with interiors that reflect the owner's unique take on this heritage.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Dominating the view from the home are the magnificent Constantiaberg mountains. My friend tells me that Cape storms pass over these mountains towards the house in the winter, creating a dramatic backdrop. The sweet odor of the thatched roof seems to capture the very essence of Africa, particularly in the Africa Room as well as in the upstairs bedrooms. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The natural chemical free oval swimming ponds in the garden were designed and purpose-built by the owner, using the latest eco design where water is circulated between the pools and filtered through a reed bed. These beautiful swimming ponds attract birdlife and frogs and a heron has taken up residence here. Horses are stabled on the property and there are usually at least 5 dogs to be seen, all of which have been rescued.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This lovely and textured house celebrates all that is Africa. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">There is a constant flow of people and animals through this happy home and below are photos I took a couple of weeks ago!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">What a treat I had while in Cape Town. My visit to a very beautiful home, filled with carefully curated antiques, exquisite artworks, and the finest tapestries was an unexpected pleasure. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"> The elegant home, built in the Georgian style, was completely renovated by the current owners. The generous moldings and tall well proportioned windows and doors add to the generous proportions of the house. As one enters the front door, the garden is visible across the hall and through the double glass doors of the drawing room. As I walked in, I glimpsed three oval pools, and the statue beyond, bathed in late afternoon light.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Recently, I wrote about an unusual and beautiful garden in the Loire Valley quite near to Boussac - Prieure d' Orsan. If you haven't read it , have a look <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6362074837244554005#editor/target=post;postID=812853359747954435">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Patrice Taravella, one of the architects responsible for restoring the Priory Gardens in France, was also commissioned to assist with the design of a relatively new garden on the Babylonstoren Wine Estate near Franshoek, South Africa. Having visited both gardens recently, it was interesting to note the similarities and contrasts between them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The climate in Franshoek is very different to that of the Loire Valley. The soil conditions, the light, as well as the plant choices are also very different in both gardens. The plants and trees at Babylonstoren needed to be much more robust to cope with the heat and sometimes very dry conditions of the Western Cape summer. Some of the wooden structures are similar to those in France, and I would love to fast forward to a visit to Babylonstoren in five years time!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This newer garden of Babylonstoren is at the heart of the Estate, and covers eight acres. It is laid out in a grid and there are three axis points. The timber structures and tree plantings are formal and over 300 varieties of plants using bio-dynamic systems, are edible. There are 15 divisions including vegetables, berries, indigenous plants as well as a 'Prickly Pear Maze'. The watering of the garden is achieved using age old gravity methods. The various walks through the garden total over 3 kilometres. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />

These formal beds, some bordered by espaliered fruit trees, are divided by walk-ways, some of which are covered with peach pips instead of gravel.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The owners are currently expanding the Clivia garden. There are over 7000 Clivias (indigenous to South Africa) growing alongside the stream, beneath wild Olives and Oak trees. A new timber structure, known as <a href="http://blog.babylonstoren.com/2012/08/31/the-puff-adder/">The Puff Adder</a> has been built to display the new Clivia collection. 'The structure of balau slats on steel frames, designed by Patrice Taravella and engineered by Terry de Waal, eliminates about 40% of sunlight but allows a free flow of air, creating ideal conditions in which Clivias can thrive'. Unfortunately, we were just a little too early to see the Clivias in full bloom, although those in the timber tunnel were abundant. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The buildings are all very well preserved and some of the original structures, date back to 1690. There is a main residence which dates back to 1770, an old cellar, a "Koornhuis" where wheat and hay was stored, a row of service buildings or barns, a bell tower, an ornate chicken run and dovecote. All of these buildings are surrounded by old traditional low farm walls. Some of the buildings have been converted into guest suites with Cape Dutch gables and thatched roofs. The Hotel offers a Spa and delightful accommodation with magnificent views of the farm and the majestic mountains that surround the farm on three sides. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's good to be back on the farm! I am sitting at the dining room table listening to thunderous applause as the men's 800m race is underway.. televised of course! What a week we've just had watching the Olympics - London 2012. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we had stayed on in Europe for two weeks after the kids departed, it was good to catch up with them again in Sydney. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our "girls" Bunny and Penny (the Shih Tzu's) were overjoyed to see us again. Two months is a long time and they arrived home looking splendid! Thanks to Jean and Fred in Berry!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After two months of European summer weather, albeit not perfect all of the time, it's back to the biting cold. Two very heavy frosts in the past two days and the August winds have delivered icy gales all day. Birds being blown about the sky, wind rushing through the bare branches of the stark winter trees and dust swirling on the drive-way. John came in for morning tea and we had a general natter about the pruning of the roses and spent a little time looking at holiday photos! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The girls I had a lovely walk over most of the farm this afternoon. We started off looking at the Hellebore's that have just come into bloom. How beautiful they looked in the late afternoon light. The air was crisp and and the countryside looked deceptively warm bathed in the wintry sun. We visited the sheep and the girls had a go at herding them! As there are only 7 their efforts were easily rewarded! After walking down to the dam which is being cleaned, we made our way up the steep paddock and along the rain forest boundary, back towards the house. We could hear the 'thump thump' of the Wallabies who live in the rain forest and Penny dashed off in sheer fright!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was very grateful when Summer finally decided to arrive in Boussac a week ago. Our last days have been spent lying by the pool and enjoying a few cool swims. Lunches and dinners beneath the great tulip tree. We have not had very good June/July summer weather, but luckily, I am just as happy when the weather is inclement. Mr R-I has spent many happy hours cycling all over the countryside in the slightly cooler weather.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Closing down this little house is a process! I start off with doing loads of washing and how fortunate to have had the hot sun delivering crisp dry towels and piles of sun-kissed bed-linen, just waiting for a hot iron. I have to admit that I do love ironing - especially French linen napkins and bed linen. There is a sense of satisfaction seeing the fragrant piles needing to be packed away, ready for our next visit. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A frantic last watering of the garden and hoping there might be rain in the next couple of weeks. My hydrangeas suffer in the heat and luckily the lovely Sarah who lives here all year long will come to the rescue!</span></div>

Lovely friends also visited and new places were discovered. Drives through valley in the evening golden light, dinner beneath the Wisteria, little grand-daughters chattering or shouting.. all lovely memories of a great holiday.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For those of us who adore antiquing and rummaging through antique markets (Brocantes), a visit to Isle Sur La Sorgue is a must. This little town in Provence, near to Avignon, has two markets a week - Thursdays - mostly fresh produce and Sundays - antiques (Brocante). If you have visited this town you will remember that all of the shops/markets bars and cafe's are situated on both sides of the Sorgue river and there are many water- wheels throughout the town that are still in good working order. </span></div>

The delightful Dominique and Patrick Holvoet, owners of <a href="http://www.lacachmaille.fr/">La Cachemaille</a> were both so enthusiastic and proud of their lovely shop. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">Most of the clothing, hats and scarves are sourced from India. Dominique who is originally from Belgium, explained that it was during a stop-over in India many years ago when she was an air hostess, that she fell in love with the exotic colours and textures of India, which resulted in a dream to sell these beautiful things in a shop. How lovely that this dream has now come true! </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have been enjoying a holiday in the Luberon, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees for the past two weeks. Beautiful weather... lots of lying by the pool - the warm air caressed by the "shish-shing" of the Cicadas, and the minor melodic tones of French songs on the local radio station "Nostalgie". </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sliced local melons - sweet and delicious, boiled eggs, yogurts, baguette and of course croissants, accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice and excellent coffee. As breakfast comes to an end, the little girls begin looking expectantly at "Oupa" (Mr R-I) who then takes them off in the double pram for a stroll around the estate. The little girls sometimes put up a fuss about sharing front position, and a "bishy" (rice-cake) is then called for!</span></div>

I have assembled a large beef tomato/mozarella salad and there are potatoes baking in the oven. As a family, we are rather obsessed with food and seem incapable of just grabbing a sandwich for lunch! It's been such fun having everyone together in one place and the little girls have been adorable. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have been house-bound today as we prepare for our journey from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Boussac to Lacoste tomorrow morning - approximately 5-6 hours drive ( we hope). Everyone has been looking forward to a family holiday near Lacoste where we have taken a house for 3 weeks. Today has been spent packing, gathering stray items from all over the house, finding little toys beneath sofas, folding clothes in the laundry and stuffing clothes into bags! Last minute ironing has been done and I have cooked a big pot of bolognese, which I will freeze tonight so that tomorrow night's dinner is catered for as we will all be rather tired. Kristiina (my daughter-in-law), her little daughter Isabel and Claire ( youngest daughter) are in Paris and will take the TGV down to Avignon tomorrow, from where they will drive to meet us in Lacoste. Our son Alex left Paris this morning for Iceland to attend a Stag party! Honestly, I shake my head sometimes at the creative destinations that weddings etc are held in these days! When I was young, weddings took place in ones home town.. and often in the back garden! The world is getting smaller I know! Alex arrives in Lacoste on Sunday and Kirk, Sarah's husband arrives on 30th June.</span></div>

The villages, towns and markets are so colourful in Provence, and I look forward to visiting/blogging about them as well.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Prieure d'orsan - Loire Valley, France</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is a very special garden quite close to Boussac. The Prieure d'orsan has been o</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">pen to the public since 1993, and is now Relais & Chateaux approved, with eight guest rooms and an excellent restaurant. This garden has become a sought-after destination for serious gardeners.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Patrice Taravella, a successful Parisian architect and Sonia Leson, acquired this property near Maisonnais in the Loire Valley, in 1991, it was a ruin. Several derelict buildings surrounded by barren land. They saw the architectural possibilities, but "we needed to smell the air first," says Taravella, so they lived there for a year before the idea came to make a garden. With the help of local gardener Gilles Guillot, the art of gardening from the pre-Renaissance times has been brought back to life.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Plentiful plantings of Hornbeams have been hedged, fenced and coaxed to form arbours, arches and buttresses, support structures, pyramids, circles and more. There are raised flower beds,a kitchen-garden, orchards, medicinal herb gardens, a rose garden and a secret garden... all so characteristic of monastery gardens. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The out-buildings house a reception area and a restaurant offering high-quality produce from the orchard and kitchen-gardens. There is also an exhibition centre featuring exhibits relating to nature, gardens and landscapes. The shop in the reception area is adorable - selling lovely items for the garden as well as books, gifts, etc.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We never tire of visiting this garden and have delighted the many guests we have taken here. Please put this on your to-do lists when next visiting France, as I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Patrice Taravella was recently commissioned to design a similar garden in South Africa. This garden can be seen at <a href="http://www.babylonstoren.com/">Babylonstoren</a>. During a recent visit, we drove to Somerset West, not far from Cape Town to view the garden. As the climate is completely different from the Loire Valley, some of the structures are similar but the choice of plants is very different. The garden is still in it's infancy, and I look forward to seeing it in years to come.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are cold, grey clouds and rain over Boussac at the moment and summer and warmer days are a distant memory! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Looking back at the photos of the market on Thursday, I can't believe that we are in the same week! The temperature in Boussac is 11deg C this morning and Paris is no warmer. I see that London is very cold as well. This little family all have a dose of cabin fever and I think an outing to La Chatre this afternoon might do the trick. To cheer myself up, I am writing about our visit to the market last Thursday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The market in Boussac happens all year round.. which means that it relies very little on tourism and largely on the local community. As it is the beginning of June, this week's market was quite small but luckily the weather was great! My daughter Sarah, grand-daughter Kitty and Mr R-I put on brave faces as we left the house. They had arrived the evening before after an arduous journey from Australia! Baskets in hand, we headed towards the square, happy that the sun was shining which would hopefully help the jet-lag! Kitty was in a daze most of the morning, but a fun time was had by all. The markets increase in size as the summer moves along and by August, this small quiet town is quite crowded on Market day.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have chosen the purple font colour for the post today in honour of the Queen of England and her Diamond Jubilee. I could hardly imagine anyone not being moved while watching the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's cathedral in London this morning. In fact, all of the Jubilee celebrations have been incredible and as I sit here at the dining table of my little house in Boussac I am certain that the British Monarchy and all that it represents, makes this world a better place. As I watched the thousands of people lining the streets and the river-side during this celebratory weekend, their smiles and joy showed us that pure happiness had stepped into their lives despite the miserable weather at times. Her Majesty the Queen, dressed so beautifully in soft colours and defying her age, has happily participated in all of the pomp and ceremony celebrating her reign. Despite not being accompanied by Prince Phillip today, I was amazed as I watched this 86yr old lady making her way down the many steps of St Paul's unaided. Below some photos taken off the television so please forgive the poor quality. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This happy viewing this morning has been accompanied by the very loud droning of 4 hedge-trimmers in my little garden. M.Caland and his 3 young men arrived today at 7.00am sharp as arranged, to bring all of the box-hedging back into order. M.Caland is the owner of a very busy landscaping business in Boussac. He employs an eager group of young men and he takes their training very seriously. When I asked once whether he and his wife, have any children, he looked at me and said "these boys are my children" .. How lovely to see his gentle guidance (sometimes not so gentle) as they learn to master the hedge-trimmers and other implements while working in the garden. M.Caland and his wife provide lunch for them daily. We had an hilarious time with them last year while constructing this garden and pool. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I particularly wanted to visit the famous house, Deyrolle while in Paris this week, as I loved the scene from Midnight in Paris which was shot in this unusual space. The internal walls are washed in a colour somewhere between Wedgewood blue and eau de nil, providing a subtle backdrop for the timber cabinets and the curiosities. As I wondered amongst the life-sized mounted animals yesterday, I marvelled at the incredible recovery from the devastating fire in 2008 which severely damaged the Cabinets of Curiosities, many of the mounted animals, the entomology room and a large part of the historical collections. This terrible fire resulted in a world-wide effort of concerned contributors who helped provide funds to restore and re-instate this wonderful house. Taxidermy, curiosities, terrariums, etc were very much part of the Victorian interiors, and have been making a come-back of late. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Housed on two floors of a beautiful building on Rue du Bac, and originating in 1831, Deyrolle has provided nature lovers, botanists, educational institutions, entomologists, designers and more, a veritable plethora of real life examples of mounted animals, insects, butterflies, shells, natural wonders and historical collection pieces. "The principle of Deyrolle was always to bring to nature the sense of observation and description: ' an image is worth a thousand words', so if one wants to protect nature, one has to know it, understand it and understand the cycles of reproduction of species as well." Today, the house is as beautiful as ever and a visit leaves one with a lasting memory of the history of these incredible undertakings and their reverence to nature. I particularly enjoyed seeing the exquisite wax vegetables and fruits which are uncannily life-like! There is a variety of posters for sale in Deyrolle, many of which are copies of those used for teaching purposes in days gone by. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Goodness... I cannot believe that I have been in France for almost a week! The first couple of days were a blur of jet lag and general travel fatigue, followed by laughter, fun and wonderful food when my two girl-friends visited me here in Boussac. </span><br />

Friday was spent slowly opening up the little house... throwing open all of the windows, removing the dust covers, making a couple of beds, getting in some groceries in preparation for the girls' arrival...oh and did I mention a flat tyre... Anyway, it all got done very slowly with plenty of breaks as I really was very tired and energy was lacking! The girls' arrival on Saturday was the beginning of a weekend of great fun and laughter. Neither had been to Boussac before and many of you wouldn't have a clue where it is either. Boussac is in the Creuse department in the Limousin region right in the centre of France. It is a quiet little town and very authentically French. Lazy days lying by the pool, slow walks along the quiet streets, the constant chiming of the 15th Century church bells, all accompanied by beautiful birdsong. Thursday is market day and the whole town comes alive with fresh produce, locally produced cheeses, poultry, fresh vegetables and fruit as well as clothing, jewelry etc etc. </span></span></div>

I just hate packing to go anywhere.. even if only to Sydney for a couple of days. I loathe the clothing choice dilemma. My wardrobe is so jumbled and un-coded. It took ages today to sift through the 'possibles' and 'definites' and in the end I chucked it all in a huge case which I have to sort out tomorrow as I leave on Wednesday.</span></div>

Yes, he is a resigned 'pack-horse'! He regularly pleads with me to lighten the load, but I am simply unable to do so. I usually start off really well, making piles on a spare bed and critically matching this with that, resulting in the piles getting smaller and smaller. Triumphant, I then begin the careful process of transferring said piles into the gaping suitcase. This is where the trouble starts. I suppose I start feeling some sort of panic when looking at a half-full case and slowly the 'just in case' items </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">start creeping in!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I haven't been able to look at my computer screen for a few days as I've had my 'flu' friend visiting me and sapping all my energy! Waking up to a cold grey morning and looking outside, it seems that Autumn is in it's final days and winter will be upon us soon. Time for the comfort of the Sunday morning ritual I tell 'the girls' (Penny and Bunny) as I walked into the kitchen - they were in 'snuggle' mode and looking rather the worse for wear. Mr R-I was back from buying the Sunday papers and soon I was cracking golden organic eggs into a bowl, warming up the coffee mugs, and slicing up a delicious juicy papaya. Even the coldest of mornings, and still feeling ill can be cheered up by a lovely breakfast surrounded by comfort and warmth! </span></div>
