Wie geht's?

Holidays are great times for projects. One of mine was to finish off my quasi zen garden outside Abbey Road Four (ARF).

Easy as: remove old clothesline; relay black plastic and stones; erect a couple of shade sails on posts; relocate a gate; put up some trellis; add seating courtesy of S Moore and my relocated Buddha; relocate raised beds and soil from a paddock; wack up some extra fencing; buy some shrubs and voila! as Dan the weather man would say!

Wie geht's?

Busy couple of weeks at Maple Grove. Mainly revolver-ing (geddit?) around establishing the fab music lounge inside (last two snaps below) and Abbey Road Four outside in the annexed bit (above and the next two snaps).

Very exciting having two places I can spin black circles!

Wie geht's? 

Okay, so finally, after months of waiting and a first week of the holidays dedicated to work around the house, Jacky and I have our UK possessions stowed away and Maple Grove (our house in Takapau, Nu Zild) is fully ship shape!

Inside Maple Grove is also now much more us.

I can now luxuriate in not one, but TWO music rooms (no - I don't play anything - I appreciate and relax instead). One is even, shock horror/am I reading this right?, INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!!!

Inside music lounge

Yes: Abbey Road Four (ARF), a.k.a. the vault, is in an out building next to the laundry and Jacky's tack room/workshop but 'The music lounge' is inside - in the fourth bedroom with my UK stereo gear and some framed Beatle pictures.

We are slowly ticking off jobs, some big, some small and Maple Grove is by degrees removing the previous owners idiosyncratic touches and becoming more ours.

One big job was rebuilding the chicken house. Thanks to Jade and William we managed to get this done AND buy three chickens in two days of concentrated effort. Names? Well we always have to have a Sticky; joining her is Olive and Pickles.
