Wow. Time really is flying past me. I felt like I only just shared in here not that long ago, after looking at my last post I realise how much time has passed!

We have been so busy with the property lately. We finally got our concrete poured in the yard, it was a massive job that we are beyond happy with! Everything seems to be coming together so wonderfully. We are currently just waiting for a break in the rain so we can paint the outside of our shed, goodbye cream - hello brown!

Besides that, Shane has been flat out with work. Honestly, we are so thankful for the blessings he has had since starting out on his own. And the Christmas rush is really in full swing now. Which brings me to another topic - CHRISTMAS!

It is definitely my favourite time of year, so much so that I already have my Christmas tree up. We have a wonderful time planned too for this year. We get to host Christmas Eve Dinner with our family, although we were hoping to have Shane’s sisters up from Melbourne to join us, that isn’t the case. However, we do get to go down (fingers, toes and everything else crossed that we actually can) and see them a few days after Christmas!! We fly down with Shane’s parents too, which means the Brew clan will be back together again, something that hasn’t happened since Christmas last year! We couldn’t be more excited to visit them all, bonus points for there being a new puppy in their lives that I will smother with love (minus points that my niece Ava might actually be taller than me at only NINE years old - how is that even happening!).

We have so much to look forward to before the year is up. But before then we also have SO much work to get done on the property. We are going to be building our bar area soon, super excited to see that all come to life. And I am currently waiting on a load of stone to be delivered that will be covering my vegetable garden and around our outdoor fireplace / dance-floor!

It is not m usual practice to add photos to this blog, but the concrete we had poured a little while ago deserves so much love and attention so I will be placing images below.

And on the note, I think it’s time to get back outside to work!
