A walk among the trees…

Ya’know. Sometimes it’s just a relaxing unwind to just walk around the farm and look at the trees. I find it’s just a lovely way to spend a little time. Walk – breath – relax…

Looks like the kids have been building a wee tree hut on the ground too…

Bathroom Demolition!

Check out how much work the builders got through today! Was a little hard to work with the din but they totally demolished the bathroom and hallway! We’re realigning the hallway to get down to the rumpus room so I can make that the master bedroom… We may manage the bathroom do-up ourselves

Fun day to end the holiday!

For the last day of the school holiday we all went to Rotorua and did the Luge. Jack and I did the Zipline and we also got a visit in to the Classic car museum! Big day!

We have a dog…

Well, it looks like we’ve officially inherited a farm dog called Jess. She’s pretty sweet and obedient, just a good off the lead dog to mooch around the farm. She’s pretty old but I feel like she belongs here 😉

Yum, green grass!

My wonderful wife riding on some super green Waikato grass. Lovely sunny day up here. To be honest it would be nice to get a little rain to cool it down!

We have a tractor!

Thanks to a really fortunate timing of events with a visit to a tractor guy in Morrinsville, we now have a tractor for the block! Just an old crust thing but about 20hp and comes with topper and a bucket! I think we’re slowly becoming farmers!
