Merry Christmas

Just a quick post to say that I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season.
I hope you enjoy good company, decadent food, some sparkly bubbles and just a few little gifts.
I know I will.
Thanks for dropping by the Hut Chronicles this year, I love to hear from you.
I'm looking forward to a new year of adventures and hope to spend Christmas 2011 in our new little hut (we'd better be in by then!)
Nigella and Claudia send licks and waggy tails your way too.

P.S. You have no idea how long it took to get this one photo- antlers are much more fun to steal from eachother than to pose in!

A roof in a day

Headed down to the build site to find a roof and gutters.

It's looking like a hut now.

Our latest ebay purchase...

It has to be said, Rob and I have no self control when it comes to the buy it now option on ebay.

We found this myrtle chest of drawers for sale the other night on ebay, and could not resist.

It's actually from the same seller we bought the sideboard from a couple of months ago.

We think it's a shame someone replaced the original handles, but we may be able to fix that later.

Hopefully this is on it's way to Tasmania, which means I need to start rearranging the furniture in our tiny flat to accomodate it. Bring on the hut, where I already have just the spot for this!

Spring grass

Our block is a sea of green grass that ripples in the wind.

With all the recent rain it is ludicrously green and lush.

The puppies love to run and jump through it like a porpoise.

Hopefully we get a break from the rain in the new year to cut the hay.

Despite my hay fever, I love to see the block like this.

I can't wait to live here.

As promised...

...the photos of the roof trusses.

It's really starting to take shape now.

We'll head down tonight to check out the progress.
