My parents still live in the house i grew up in. the garden is brimming with vegies. it’s a little higgledy-piggeldy, a bit country-cottage, it’s very recycled…in the best kind-of-way. My dad is pretty lucky when it comes to finding things. side-of-the-road jewels you could say. their dream is to build and live in a mudbrick house. i have no doubt that they’ll do it. ché, if he could, would spend every moment of every day in this garden. it’s his paradise. happy as a bee and just as sweet as honey. what could be better than chasing chickens, collecting eggs, picking herbs and digging dirt. and then sealing the day with a roaring fire and bbq’ed chorizo. i suppose i’ve discovered a new-found love of this place. it’s the perfect example of cycles – the chicken and the egg, the seeds and the vegetables, me and my baby. Because, as I’m reminded every time I stand back to watch, I was once the little one running ’round and ’round the garden…like a teddy bear. and now it’s ché’s turn.
Very Sweet!
My parents live in the only house they have ever owned – they have been there for 45 years now. And yes, when Minnie is pottering in the garden or feeding the chickens or helping in the big old shed, my parents are always reminded of me doing the same.
Seems like a lovely place …
Look at those beautiful curls. Beautiful photos to a beautiful post
I don't think there could be anything better! wonderful post…
Oh that's my goal for our home someday "a country cottage". Thank you for your kind words on my blog.
