New Blog New Day New Start

What a lovely day! Tomorrow we close the restaurant for good but will have art exhibitions two or three times a year. It gives me something concrete to work towards as regards my art. What fun:)

2012 is for the farm – for eco-building, painting and organic growing. I am so looking forward to this much written about year, preparing for a new life.

The design for the Hybrid home on the farmette in the mountains is taking shape. It has gone through so many changes already but I see it as a necessary process. It will no doubt change some more before it is truly finished. F wanted a home above ground and I wanted an earth shelter, so we compromised. We will build the above ground and the earth shelter – all in one. As soon as we have a working plan I will post it here. The lovely SmartDraw programme gives me hours of fun.

On to a day filled with promise. Two young men are coming to audition to sing at tomorrow’s farewell wine tasting at the restaurant/art gallery. Marilda and I shall be doing our bits as well, so it is to be party night!

Oh frabjous day – calloo callay….
