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!
