Four and a half years later....

 

I bought this decorative aluminium lacework panel on a Perth holiday in August 2012 from an Antique shop in Guildford

 

Finally it has a purpose and adds charm to the cubby/ rabbit house as a gate.

 

Undecided what colour to paint it I opted for leaving distressed paintwork - this allows the grey metal to be the prominent colour.

 

Another creation by Rodd For which I am pleased and thankful.

Fallen Trees Now B-Log

 

Winter and Spring last year were incredibly wet and windy with some particularly stormy weather resulting in many trees falling down. We have lost gum trees mostly but the last casualty was a pussy willow.

 

Many hours have been spent by Rod cutting, stacking and burning small branches, twigs and leaves.

 

The EPA have brought in new rules meaning we can no longer burn without a permit. We applied and qualified for two permits as the trees kept falling.

Always with Grace

On November 15th Auntie Grace passed away. At the age of 93 she was more than ready to leave this earth despite that she was ever so sharp and sound in mind. But the body was ever so tired. Bless you Grace - may you rest in complete peace.

One last gift of flowers to see you on your way Grace. Only one stem of each type of flower,  except for four stems of lavender - one for each of your children. Leaves of camellia, a bush from a cutting out your garden and alstroemeria another gift from your garden to mine.

 

I've wrapped it in pink tissue paper sandwiched between cellophane and tied it with purple and green ribbons. The wrappings are a bit wrinkled as they have been used before but I think this is how you would want it - it does the job and still looks beautiful.
