Picture perfect - Sunday afternoon

Great day today - good (by our current dismal standards!) weather, about 16 degrees C but dry and sunny on and off.

It is good just to be about the Gallery and garden on days like this - not like working at all!

Some pictures:

sunny Sunday - sunflowers

Crocosmiae Lucifer - living up to it's name

the largest daisy flower I've ever seen

Agyranthemum - my favourite

new flower bed and water tank bed - plus Furby on the prowl!

Renovation Reflections

the roof of the dwelling house - a sorry sight

I have just put down some of our thoughts  for the website on what we're about up here. 


It kind of sharpens the focus and objectives to take a step back now and again, take stock, and re-prioritise.


Now that the gallery is open, and we are getting a steady flow of people, it really feels like the old place is coming back to life, albeit in a different incarnation. 

It's heartening to see the old newspapers, plans, pictures and artefacts from the house being poured over, sparking conversations about other times and places. 


It feels good.
