At my house..


Over the weekend, my family got to see how the other half live!

We went to the Family Open Day at Dame Elisabeth Murdoch's farm. May I just say, I could become accustomed to this style of living! It was an absolutely beautiful property full of gardens, trees and lakes. We enjoyed a picnic by the lake and drank in the view and the tranquility.

We also enjoyed a spot of tennis on "our" tennis court!

Hubby and I did have a chuckle on the way out. We see that even Dame Elisabeth Murdoch puts out her hard rubbish. It was a small vacuum cleaner. Hubby said it was probably the one they use for the car! The inside one would have to be huge!

Pop over to Buttons By Lou Lou to see more of what is happening.

  3. I love visiting open gardens of stately homes. It's always such a lovely day out.

    I'm being picky... but I don't think I would like to play tennis at a court stuck in the middle of a paddock. Poor Dame Murdoch. LOL. x

  7. Sounds like a very nice day out. The house looks lovely. The great thing is that with a house that big you are also likely to have enough money to have a cleaner as well! It's the practical everyday things I think about these days - LOL! Lou.
