It's been ages...

... since I last wrote on my blog, I guess my socialising has been getting in the way...

Can you believe that in a couple of days we have been living in our Little Munro Beach House for 3 months, how time has flown by.  So here I am sitting here and realising that we have done really well in the time that we have been here.  Okay it's no where near finished, infact we have hardly started but in the short time we have achieved so much.

I was going to say that there was nothing too major to report on this time, but a few little things have changed so I guess despite everything else we have been doing we have once again done quite a bit... 

The most noticeable thing is obvious as soon as you come down the drive, the front door, garage doors, workshop roof and window ledges have 'gone green'!  Once the cream exterior paint arrives the whole house will get it's makeover.

We still need to put another coat of paint on the workshop/garage door but the colour has certainly brightened up Little Munro Beach House.

The outside has been where we have been concentrating our efforts.  With Kris having some 'proper' work to do I have been getting into the garden in between socialising!  I have continued pulling up weeds which are so deep rooted, carried yet more rocks, separated succulents and replanting them, I have even made some steps using logs and shells.  I don't think the photos really show my work off as well as it looks but hopefully you can get some idea of what has changed.


Before work started



The whole area has been cleared, steps built
and replanting taken place




The lower level section like all of the garden did resemble a jungle, but now the section running along the wall has been given a new lease of life, again I know the photo doesn't show it as good as it looks in the flesh...


When we first saw this we really didn't know where to start...

I'm sure you will agree this area has also changed heaps...

The other little job done is that the front door which had a huge gap (unwanted air conditioning) has been filled and some plaster board has been put up closing up some of  the gaps in the ceiling and walls around the pantry and front door.  There is still more to go up but at this stage we need to wait until our landlord has finished with the electrical work.









Our bedroom is about to be partly decorated so we can move out of the spare room so I hope to share some more photos with you soon.

So for now I say "That's All Folks"...
