I will miss this house, with it's old fashioned "chippie" burner in the kitchen, it's quaint porch, the wooden floors and creaking window frames. I've come to think of it more as a piece of history and a thing of great craftsmanship than just a building. I wonder what kinds of things these walls have seen... going all the way back to a time where chlorophyll tablets were "as safe as a lettuce leaf!" It's probably silly to become so attached to a home (especially one that is drafty and has damp walls 4 months of the year) but I have so loved living here.
Well, tonight is our last sleep in this house. I hope the next family take good care of it... Next time I'll be blogging from the beach!
Hope the move all goes well ~ an exciting new adventure for you all. xx
ReplyDeleteoh you are leaving behind a goody, but there is nothing quite like living at the beach!! hope it goes well! x
ReplyDeleteBy the time you read this, you'll have had your first sleep in your new place - Happy New House!!!
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the move looks like a lovely little home.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your unpacking and settling in. You had such a sweet house but it looks as though your new place will be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've just read your whole blog. You are an amazingly talented woman. Your description of your home reminds me of my childhood home especially the chipheater in the kitchen. I love NZ and I often miss it dearly now that I've been in Aus for 15 years. I'm going back to NZ for my high school reunion. I can't wait to absorb the Maori tanga, the arts and crafts and most of all the pure beauty. I love your blog.
