Darcy's christening

Couple of shots from the Big D's big day.....

Another garden surprise!

Update: It's an echinacea - either 'Green Envy' or 'Sunrise'. I have to wait until the the green petals unfold al ittle to find out which . Still fascinating!

First red currants...

Redcurrant are one of my favourites - just because of the colours!

Solar fairy lights

...and the lights went on in Yass on 24 Nov. These are the new solar powered fairy lights in the pergola. I think Mr BFP likes them - he jumps on the roof each evening to check out our grape crop, I think. Hmmmm.....

Some 'Before' and "After' shots

The kitchen & lounge - before & after...

Since these pictures were taken, I added the little old stove (no more does the dinner stay on hold during a black-out!) and corner shelves have been added over the benchtop.
The lounge also now has tall timber bookshelves either side of the fireplace, which also hold the stereo & TV (and all my crafty bits!)
The lounge room ceiling light comes from my great-grandmother, Mattie Snowdon's house which used to stand in Mittagong (but, sadly, no longer does).

...oh, and I almost forgot!

The new-look Palais des Poules

The new pergola

Ta-dahhh!!
At last the grape vine has a home and - hopefully - Mr B.F.* Possum won't wind up with most of the harvest!


(* stands for "B@$%@^*!-face")
PS: This is the 'before' shot!

Springtime in Yass

Paterson's Curse runs rampant at Cooma Cottage, Yass







Yes, I know it's a curse - but you have to admit it's a pretty striking one!


You know what they say - life ain't all roses. There's daisies and geraniums and daffodils

and irises



oh, ... and orchids














(and Paterson's Curse!)

Maldon Festival

The result of a bit of photo fun at the Porcupine Creek pioneer village, Maldon.

(Subtitled: How Triantán won the revolution and went on to found the BLF....)



Session in the street outside the Grand Hotel, Maldon Vic.

(And the gaffer speaks Gaelic!)

Timothy Fuzzbutt

... aaaah! It's a dog's life!

My new friend ....

Meet Timothy Fuzzbutt, late of Sutherland Animal Shelter and Shaw St's newest resident

At last! The all-new Palais des Poules....

... and a couple more

Nice to see the rain clouds around!

Winter in Yass

Finished the bit of brick paving at the back of the house - thankfully before the frost and the rain!

June 22 2007

Minus 6 degrees on my front verandah this morning.... brrrr!

... And the latest project!

Máirtín's 'new' baby...




Here's this year's project. There's not a huge amount to do and the bonus is, the wooden floors are in great shape!

The Celtic Festival, Portarlington

Here's a couple of shots of the lads at Portarlington. Gotta love Anthony's new friends!

The Girls

See the girls in action

May 07 - Water saving - Yass Style

I'm notoriously bad at this sort of thing so expect BIG gaps!
Here's a few shots of the new subsoil irrigation system - isn't that a grand name for a trench and a bit of piping!
It doesn't compare with the canals of Venice, however, it takes the grey water from the bathroom and feeds one of the vegetable gardens.
