The Gazebo rises again !

The gazebo took a direct hit from the cyprus tree. It has been trying to get it for a couple of years. Two years ago it dropped two branches right across the lawn, missing the gazebo but getting the roses. Took better aim this time and knocked the whole structure sideways

Season Of Mist and mellow Fruitfulness

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run" Keats Ode To Autumn

We are back to the winters of the early 1990's, but looking to a great spring. The mists have set in and around the fire is a very popular meeting.

But there is an exciting new option for a winter lunch and that is Wombat Hill House, at the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens.

Having established Lake House in 1984, Alla Wolf Tasker presents this new incarnation - the 'house in the gardens'.

They offer simple seasonal food, sourced locally wherever possible and served in one of Daylesford's most beautiful locations.

Take home 'heat & eat' food, pantry provisions and gifts available from the store. Wine by the glass and bottle to enjoy on the premises.

AND HERE IS ANOTHER HOLIDAY OPTION . YOU CAN BOOK THE COTTAGES THROUGH PARKS VICTORIA

The Gabo lighthouse is particularly lovely. Constructed from pink granite quarried on site and never painted, with a delicate vertical curve . And it’s solar powered.

The houses and fences are built of the same stone. Geoff does four weather reports each day. A discussion about how

to describe the rain : are the showers occasional, intermittent,

scattered, isolated? No debate about the wind : it’s continuous.
