It’s been a few weeks into lockdown now and signs are that it may be lifted sometime next week – so we hope. Everyone has been busy with work and school (ann online that is) and the weekends have been busy, too.

Fixing fences, wastewater dripper lines, some grading in the paddock by hand, rehinging gates, making new gates and doing more firewood so keep warm when the weather turns to cold and/or rain again.

I picked a few pictures to keep you entertained and maybe – once we are out of lockdown – you may want to drop by for a stay and enjoy some time off. We will be opening in level 2.

What can I say, the cats are special here. They are probably special everywhere, but I feel that we have an interesting mix of personalities. Especially Moonshine, he’s always good for entertainment.

We had flooding and cylones. The ducks have been the only very happy creatures but they turned their area into a slimy, muddy mess. Guess that sums up the last few months.

Shady our little Bush Pegasus has peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge today. We are so glad he was able to go gracefully and peacefully with all of us and his best mate Rusty by his side.

February was thought to finally bring summer. What it brought instead was more rain – and storm.
