Priceless moments at Lavendale Country Retreat. ☺️

The shallow stretch of river near our gated walkway is perfect for the kids to paddle in, especially at this time of year.

One of the highlights of our first three months here has been our grandchildren helping us start to restore the veggie patch.

Being nourished by the work of our own hands, with the hands of nature - and being present as the kids make these connections in their own ways.

Here we are planting coriander seeds and spinach seedlings, generously shared with us by a neighbour from their garden. I can’t wait for them to see how well these will grow over spring. ☺️

A rare morning off… and, as always, good food came first. 😂

Shout out to our friend Meghan, owner of Bellissimo Cafe in York; brekky was seriously delish!

Meghan has been one of our biggest supporters since we moved to town— she even delivers freshly prepared meals here for our guests! 🙏🏽

Love antiques, vintage finds and one-of-a-kind treasures?

York’s Mid Winter Antique and Collectors Fair is on this weekend at York Town Hall.

Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August.

With the canola fields also at their peak, it’s a beautiful weekend to visit York.

And if you’d like to stop a while, we still have a couple of cottage options available. 🌿

Was that a flash of alarm I just saw in Steve’s eyes? 😂

We’re coming back and forth to Perth for a few days to pack up our house, which settles shortly.

So naturally, at 9pm on Thursday night, I decided to UNpack a couple of boxes of painting gear and start something new. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes, taking a little time to care for yourself isn’t negotiable.

I’m curious to see what I can create with an odd assortment of things I’ve found around the house…

Leftover wallpaper samples, a few paints and, apparently, only kids’ paintbrushes. 😂

Because, inconveniently, ripping up paper and making a creative mess is my idea of self-care. 😂

Family Getaways can be tricky.

Yet we often hear our guests say that Lavendale is one of those rare places that really works for families and friends holidaying together.

Each family can have their own private cottage, while there are also beautiful spaces for everyone to come together, including a huge patio area and commercial kitchen that can be booked.

There’s plenty of space for those who want some downtime, and plenty to explore for those looking for a little adventure — making it easy to cater for everyone in the group.

Why not make your next getaway one you can enjoy together at Lavendale Country Retreat?

Do you see what I found?

I hear them every day, but they aren’t always so easy to spot amongst the trees. Just sitting watching this beauty was very calming. 🩵
