Actually it wasn't a dream at all... I was on HOLIDAY!!
We took ourselves on a little holiday far far away, 20 hours driving time… down into the Bega Valley, NSW to visit old friends…They live on a 450 acre property with 4 children a few cows, sheep and a couple of alpaca. How envious we were as we drove through their front gate for the first time to see this vision…
Rolling Hills and Green Pastures, Old Stables and Barns, Milking Sheds, Old Piggeries and the cutest little old laying boxes that you ever did see….
Huge fruit trees growing in the paddocks, Pear, Apple, Quince, Peach, Apricot
and 150 year old Oak Trees…
and 150 year old Oak Trees…
Mm mm Mulberries ....
This has to be one of the most, if not the most, prettiest place I have ever visited…It is an Old Dairy Farm with so much History and Beauty. I used to dream about living on a property like this...
Although I have to say now having arrived back home, How much I truly appreciate what we also have in our backyard….it has only inspired me to work harder to achieve what I see in my dreams…
There will be more Fruit Tree planting this year, there will be larger Vege Gardens established, there will be new fences, and a new front gate, probably another shed extension…, a bigger and better chook coop (which is already under construction), plus cute little old laying boxes which I’m sure I can reconstruct myself from something around here, there will be new ponies for the children and maybe even a sheep or two…
My Kitchen and Cookery plans for the year is a never ending list…and My Craft Box is overflowing with many started projects.
Big Visions…Small Steps….

Thank you to our Very Hospitable Friends for sharing your life with us...
It is indeed a beautiful property and you didn't even mention the gorgeous post and rail fences. Good luck with your plans. May your enthusiasm and energy be boundless.
ReplyDeleteOh I think I need to move, what a wonderful spot. Now I am going to dream of your holiday, lucky thing :)
ReplyDeleteBe still my beating heart - absolutely gorgeous:)
ReplyDeleteYes Hazel, it is those old post and rail fences that make this place so beautiful, they are slowly perishing but I beleive there are plans in place to have them all restored..
ReplyDeleteI am very looking forward to revisting this gorgeous place again in future years...
Thanks for the link:) I am so envious, I want to live there! Fruit trees and old oak trees. Sounds like heaven to me. It's beautiful dairy country isn't it? My hubby and I talk all the time about finding a farm one day. Meanwhile we are trying to make our little one acre as sustaining as possible.
