Parasol
A handsome extension sidles up to a house, takes it by the arm and strolls out into the sunshine. It’s a well-worn tale. A love story for the ages: Bungalow meets Skillion. They find a perch, prop the parasol and take in the scene: fruit trees, chooks, sand pits and a swing set. Everything they’d ever need.
Kids down one end of the house, parents down the other, food and entertainment in between. Where old meets new, things open-up: a little light relief for swinging cats, making mess and would you please sit down and do your homework please!
Everywhere you look a grove of trees and a shady deck. A deck out the front, a deck out the back and a deck in the middle. Decks for eating, decks for dancing, decks for love stories and daydreaming. It’s a heart-warming scene.

When our plans were finalised, there was a part of us that couldn’t believe it would end up being real and ours to enjoy. It seemed a bit too incredible. But it happened, it exists and we get to live here! We are so appreciative and grateful.

Silver Lining
If every storm cell has a silver lining, it’s that the girls have tired of sodden socks and finally agreed to join us up here in our fancy new living room. The fridge is here too, which can’t have hurt. From where I’m sitting, I can see the weather overhead through the high window. I can also see across the park to where a young family are stranded on the play equipment. If they could get themselves afloat on one of those bright plastic tubes, I reckon I could chuck a rope over and pull them in.Silver Lining

Together Apart
Where once they shared a womb, now they share a room; twin girls needing their own space, yet wanting to stay close too.Hawthorn
