http://australiantownandcountry.blogspot.com/2011/01/chicken-houses-tears-and-boundary.html
Australian Town and Country. The story of my Australian country home. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Chicken houses, tears and boundary issues. I was very excited when my neighbour G dropped into conversation that he was building a chicken house. Images of fresh golden yolks swirling in home-made custard danced in front of my eyes. I enthusiastically endorsed the project. Four years ago I knew as soon as I turned into the front gate that I badly wanted this house. I stood with the real estate agent whi...

Australian Town and Country: Weekend visitors
http://australiantownandcountry.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekend-visitors.html
Australian Town and Country. The story of my Australian country home. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. I've had my head down in the city working hard on my startup business. Everything has ground to a halt at the country house. I did have some weekend visitors recently. Kerrie and Henry came to stay. Here's Henry. He's a labradoodle. He brought his own weekend bag. I spiffed up the toilet wall vase with some fragrant heliotrope. Give me something to read.

Australian Town and Country. The story of my Australian country home. Thursday, February 3, 2011. Birthday summer lunch 2010 (3). So, to the entree of my birthday summer lunch. (I wrote about the hor d'hoeuvre here). But then in my beloved Australian Gourmet Traveller I found a recipe for double-baked Gruyere souffles. That sounded so good that I decided to risk it. The recipe, aside from looking delicious, fulfilled one of my entertaining requirements: it's pretty much prepared the day before. Hi, I'm S...

Australian Town and Country: Making a compost bin
http://australiantownandcountry.blogspot.com/2011/07/making-compost-box.html
Australian Town and Country. The story of my Australian country home. Monday, July 18, 2011. Making a compost bin. I know it's incredibly geeky, but I love composting. All of my food scraps and the paper that goes through my home office goes onto the pile. I don't bother with turning or tending it, and after about six months it has transformed into beautiful black soil. There's something great about my old tax records and junk mail being turned into food for my herb garden, and in turn me. About Australi...

Australian Town and Country: Christchurch

Australian Town and Country. The story of my Australian country home. Saturday, February 26, 2011. I'm sorry about the lack of post for a while. The town of Christchurch in New Zealand, the place where I grew up, broke and crumbled in an earthquake this week and I feel very sad. Thankfully my parents, who live there, are OK and their house is not damaged. February 28, 2011 at 11:52 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Australian Town and Country.
