Otherwise life could be kind of a blur. So this does me a lot of good!<br />Yes my pile of mail was beautiful! Some of these things have been good to get to know everyone more too. It is amazing how much we have in common despite where we live! <br />Also... in Aust. farms are generally large as small blocks are ok for hobby farms but not to make money really as it is often dry so you don't get many stock per hectare etc. The further north you go the bigger they get due to this. Some stations are like european countries in size lol!<br />Have a lovely weekend! with love Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-9537679591578646712017-11-03T21:44:50.058-07:002017-11-03T21:44:50.058-07:00Thank you Debbie.

I had in my head it was just a couple of paddocks, I had no idea it was so huge! The pictures of the painted schoolboys are amazing. <br /><br />I'm so excited to hear how your decision-making goes. I always have a real sense of calm when I read your posts, even when something hectic like renovations are going on, you always seem to have a calm and ordered approach. It's really lovely to see what you've been up to, and you are so generous to share it.

I will indeed say prayers for you that all the obstacles will work out. We are at present happily expectant that our son and dil will be moving here onto this old farm. They are hoping to buy the land my brother owns and is selling. I am over the moon at the idea of having my youngest grandsons so near and only wish my youngest daughter also would be moving here. Perhaps in time. There are no final dates as of yet. He has the job, the land is for sell, the price agreed upon and now we wait for the other things to all fall into place...terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-41557777094588351622017-11-03T18:09:52.761-07:002017-11-03T18:09:52.761-07:00Annabel, thank you for sharing your “spring” pictu...Annabel, thank you for sharing your “spring” pictures.

What a life!! Just imagining the kangas thumping past on your walks was like reading a fantasy book. I am a little jealous, too, of your fab shopping at the country op shops. Your roses are unbelievably gorgeous, as others have said. You could probably sell them at a stand. The 30-minute drive between your folks and Chloe is an amazing example of the size of your parent's property! xxoos from San DiegoMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895877653972323599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-62301696757232047372017-11-02T12:10:37.329-07:002017-11-02T12:10:37.329-07:00What wonderful pictures!
