Summer Rain

It rained a couple of weekends ago like we’ve never seen it rain before. 6 inches in 48 hours. It just kept coming and caused local flooding all over the farm. With all the water draining to the back paddocks, the lucerne was under threat of drowning, so the dust was brushed off an irrigation pump - having been out of action for 8 years - and off she went. Channels were full, parts of paddocks under water, the homestead dam full, and the labrador thought all her Christmas’ had come at once. The farm is so green at the moment - walking into the garden is such a treat for this time of year. There are flowers everywhere and the lawn is lush. Ducks and ibis are all over the farm. Frogs are in chorus and even mozzies are around. The Farmer keeps telling me rain is the source of life. I think he might be right.

Wedding reflection

Below is a reel of photographs from our wedding that we hope tell the story. We had the most incredible day. So many beautiful memories. And we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who helped in making the day so special - those who travelled far and wide to get to Pine Hill, neighbours who helped with flowers and decorations, local suppliers, Saskia from Grandiflora who said yes to filling an air-conditioned four wheel drive with eighteen table arrangements in their vases (and Matt & Renee for being their transport), and the endless list of suppliers from Perth to Sydney who managed to get stuff to the Central West in no time at all. And of course my sister Liv, honorary bridesmaid and tireless go-to for all things wedding.

Welcome

So the next chapter in the story begins. We’re hitched. It’s rained. And our life in the bush is filled with happy times, lots of learning, loving and life long memories in the making. We hope you enjoy the stories we tell of our life together from the cottage at Pine Hill.
