We moved house, finally. Everyone has a space to call their own, and we're slowly turning this building from a house to our family home. Winter was really cold, and the fireplace didn't quite compensate, so in the next couple of weeks, we're getting the place sorted for next winter, with a new fireplace baffle, underfloor and ceiling insulation, and a ventilation system. Here's hoping it'll mean we're much, much warmer next year!
Making space :
We knocked out a wardrobe and tidied up the walls, to turn a small bedroom into a decent single bedroom.

| Papa Sam enjoyed demolition WAY too much! |
Wind, wind and more wind:
One of our fences fell down in a recent storm. It turns out that the previous owners had pretty much just glued it to the neighbour's carport. So there's a repair job for later.
Chickens a-roaming:
The girls have all re-homed well, but we've had a few issues getting them fenced in. For the moment, they're pretty well free roaming, and enjoying the sandpit we have.
Garage sort:
And our Labour Day was spent building a shadow board for Sam's tools in the shed, as well as sorting out the general debris in multiple boxes and plastic containers. We're just about done.
Birthdays:
We've had a couple of birthdays in the new house, so here's the cakey goodness:
 |
| Our youngest girl's 11th birthday cake |
 |
| Our first teenager helped make her own cake |
Love to all,
Mama Fern
