Country Music Style

This is the week of the Country Music Festival.  So I was inspired to do a few things around the house while outside echoed to various country styles.  Georgia's blog made me think to show you the linen cupboard on the first landing, its doors currently sporting felted acorns.

Because the weather is still coolish, I've decided on splashes of red in my room.  Doesn't my framed Tarentella (painted and created by Spanish Rose Norte) look fabulous!!!

I'd read in The Big Issue during the week that The Simpsons has turned 21, so couldn't resist showing you the plate collection in the kitchen.

And since the door is open, and becomingly draped in rubbish bags, let's peak outside.

That little nesting box is my souvenir from Kangaroo Island at Easter time.  I'm not saying it's going to stay on that verandah post for ever, I'm just waiting for the right place to make itself known.

Home Truths: Spring, and a garden in waiting...

Noticed that our ornamental vine is coming to life as I came in through the garage door tonight.

Of course, it's not all good news

This is the north side of our house - actually in the yard of the fish and chip shop next door.  Much as I love living in an old building, there are maintenance issues.  Fortunately we have some good builders around - mostly retired but happy to do the odd job.
