a day by the lake

We drove to Daylesford this weekend.  It is very beautiful - idyllic - and we are so looking forward to going back.  Especially to check out the lovely village centre which is so very old and picturesque.  Hopefully there is an overnight stay coming up at the old manse - I shall feel like Jane Austen :-)

I was particularly smitten with the berries.

There were trees to climb - with and without shoes - and my girl was delighted with the magic of the lake, its prettiness and the ducks and geese to feed.

The light was exquisite and the prettiness, around every corner.

We found our dream home - plenty of room for quilts, wool and embroidery, grunt pigs and buttercup cows, a lake in our back garden on which to kayak and rooms for guests that want to play with our quilts, wool, and embroidery, grunt pigs, buttercup cows and kayaks.  It’s a lovely dream :-)

And some quirky … I love quirky!

    It looks dreamy. And yes, count me on your list of future, one day guests who would like to come play with quilts and cows and such :)

    Ahhhh, a lovely day indeed! Looks blissful what with the quirky thrown in to round things out. :-) I especially love the sunlight in that last photo. What fun!

    How beautiful! As much as I love Summer( but for now I will take Spring, which is s l o w l y showing her face here), I do so love Autumn, the only problem with it being Winter, which is fine till one gets toward the end. And stripey socks. and days warm enough to still go barefoot.

    How lovely, I needed a bright spot to “pick me up” and I knew that I could depend on you. What a fun time!
