This is where we indulge in a little fantasy. We put aside the hum drum daily tasks, and let our mind wander .Today we’re talking about my current “girl crush” Amal Clooney. The women has style!! Sure she has the money to buy anything her heart desires, and designers would no doubt be tossing clothes at her…
Author: Valle Laguna
Hello, I’m Kylie. Welcome to my little slice of heaven in the Hunter Valley. Whilst I’m originally a city girl, my heart and soul has always been a little bit country.
I’m a passionate cook, horse lover, fashion tragic, dreamer, traveller and all round lover of beautiful things.
Eight years ago my partner & I purchased 100acres of land in the Hunter Valley, and set about building our dream. We designed and built our home plus 2 villa’s that we now rent out as holiday accommodation. This blog is where I share what it’s like to be “living the dream”. I chat about daily life on a farm, running our business, the challenges, the laughs, and most defiantly the inspirational and eclectic bunch of people that form our little community.
If you’d like to experience your own little bit of country living, feel free to sign up to this blog, or, pop over and have a look at Valle Laguna. We’d love you to come and visit.
Another Job for Winter
There is nothing I love more in winter than sitting in front of the fire and gazing into the flames. The warmth seems to reach into every corner of the room. What I dont love is the extra work that it creates. Aside from the work involved in collecting and stacking the fire wood, there…
Week Of Wild Weather
Wow! Can we just take a moment to reflect on this week of crazy weather? I mean really enough already. Monday & Tuesday saw us flooded out of the farm. The creeks came up so quickly. I feel nobody was really prepared for this flood. Previously when we’ve had flood warnings or the creeks are…
Old is new again.
What’s that old saying?…”the more things change the more they stay the same”. A few years ago we were offered an old vacuum cleaner. At first I said no. We already had a vacuum that we left in the shed along with a host of cleaning stuff for the villas. If I needed a vacuum for the house I’d just…
Winter Wardrobe
It’s February and there is the tiny hint of change in the air. The nights are getting cooler and a few of the leaves have started to dry out and slowly change colour. I cant wait for winter. Crazy? Maybe, but it’s my favourite season. I love everything about winter. The “first drop” of winter fashion has started to arrive in stores….
Valentines Day
I’m not sure how I feel about Valentines Day anymore…Back in the day it was BIG news. Women would circle the reception desk in the office like sharks (me included) waiting for that elusive bunch of flowers to be delivered. So much was being written into that one bunch of flowers. So much importance was…
