Life in Woodend ...

Here are some photos of our family, our house, our garden and some local walking paths ...

This blog is set up as a place to keep all the bits and bobs I come across in my day to day life with my family. It's mainly so I don't lose them or forget about them. At the moment we're a family of four ... Mum, Dad, and two little hatchlings  (eep! how did that happen? I never would have picked me as the domestic type ....)

G is a rather dapper dad - he likes good music, literature, and all things chap, and has a pronounced fondness for headwear; I love colour, design and nature and I'm a dreamer - you'll invariably find me poring over vintage images or photos of ethereal gardens and faraway landscapes, wondering and imagining ... ; D is a toddler - he loves giggling, running, playing and 'helping' at home; Little O joined us 4 weeks ago, and he pretty much fills his days and nights with drinking, crying and sleeping - that's it at the moment.

We share our house and garden with a rather silly cocker spaniel and all manner of wild critters. This life in the country suits us just fine.
