Country gardens and eye pillows

St Ambrose Farm......so much to admire about this stunning country property, purchased by Paul Bangay in 1997. It started life as a coach house before being taken over in 1911 by the Sisters of Mercy and commissioned as a parish primary school.

It has been transformed into this.....

.......and we visited there last weekend.

Glad to have Colleen and Mel along to stroll around with us and share the joy so early in the morning.

On the way home there was more.....

Autumn in Mount Macedon.....a feast for the eyes.

Amy and I have been doing yoga for a few weeks now ( or yoga a go go as Amy calls it)! 

Last week we did a bit of acro yoga.

Our teacher hands out eye pillows at the end of each session for the relaxation part.

 I decided to make one for each of us in the group and personalise them.

This is Jacqui. She manages the shop with her gorgeous sister Kim.

They suggested that I make some eye pillows for their shop.

So I did.

All the little rice packs standing in a row.

You can imagine the auditioning processes that went on here!

Even for the tag......!

The covers can be removed to be washed.

I decided to do collections. 

Typical. Couldn't just do normal random one of this and one of that could I!

Library stack this week.

And adored reading this......

Our baby boys.....

Bill has shovelled and dug and axed and sweated his way through the entire mulch pile now. And somehow even managed to dig out/ chainsaw his way through the final obstacle.

And now we have this beautiful area ready to be grassed.

It rained here last night.

14mm of glorious rain. 

Hope you all got some too.
