Anzac Weekend saw us hurriedly cleaning out the potting shed to accommodate our Art Exhibition which was supposed to have been in the garden set amongst the autumn colours. The rain had other ideas however & we shifted the less weather proof exhibits inside. People still came & everyone seemed to enjoy it, there was an interesting range of pottery, painting, photography & woolcraft. We have some very talented people living in our area. We will do it again later in the year & hopefully be able to have more outside as the Nook really does make an ideal setting for art.
It has been great to have some rain as it has been very dry, the lawns have all greened up again and are in need of their final trim before winter. Jamie is all set to plant his spinach as soon as he gets a spare moment & his brassicas have romped away - they are huge - far bigger than anyone elses planted at the same time - definitely got green fingers!
We had been considering closing over winter but Jamie feels it would be too disruptive so he will be here on deck - usual hours so if you are planting come out & see us we still have a good range of natives & some lovely large specimen trees.
