Lavender Bloom ~ by Deb Vanallen

Despite being neighbours we sometimes overlook some of the magical spots right on our door step!

In need of inspiration for some Christmas gifts I visited the Balingup Lavender Farm today. Some 4,000 plants in full bloom . . . including many varieties of lavender, roses, colourful perennials and some unusual deciduous trees. The aroma is just intoxicating.

. . . and as for my shopping, I found a couple of beautiful gifts. The owners, Pauline and Richard are wonderfully interesting people and are always happy to show visitors through their distillery.

I couldn’t resist a little treat for myself – have you ever tried lavender ice cream?

Misty Morning

Just as you never know which swim at the beach will be your last for the season, so too are we never sure when we’ll wake up to our last heavy mist for the season! Was today the last or will we get another one tomorrow?

A November morning mist!

Saturday October 15th sees the holding of the annual Spring Picnic at the Golden Valley Tree Park. This spectacular community run event features a range of activities throughout the afternoon, culminating in an enormous evening bonfire, complete with exploding bamboo! The evening will also see performances from many local musicians. A highlight of the night for us will be the original dance performance, choreographed by Cassandra, owner of local herbal products shop Tinderbox, and featuring our daughters Asha & Mia, together with other local girls from Balingup. The Spring Picnic is always and amazing evening, where the community really comes together to celebrate spring. This year promises to be even more memorable. Join us…all welcome!

Another school holidays are just around the corner. If you are looking for a break in the South West then we still have availability. It’s a spectacular time of year in Balingup, with some trees in full blossom and others already sprouting green leaves! Our big oak tree that stands in front of the Farmhouse has already gone from bare to a mass of green!
