Thanks for sharing Colette’s site, Wendy. I fell in love with her work the first time I visited there. I wish more people would do this sort of thing; the earth could be so incredibly beautiful and people have fulfilling lives . . . ~ Linne

Yeah, last year she said she was but I don’t remember seeing anything lately about this. It is a lovely little cottage!

I guess you put it on the market and wait to see if someone will appreciate it and buy it. We have a gorgeous house and garden package for sale here in Tassie. I have visited the garden and am in awe of how gorgeous it is but they must be asking a LOT for it as it simply hasn’t sold. You have to wait for the right person sometimes who just “gets it” and knows the value.

We know an elderly man who needed to move to town from his old lifestyle block. It finally sold after a year and boy, we would’ve loved to buy it. Sometimes those who most want something like this just aren’t in the right position to buy ay.

I know…people who would truly love something like this are usually like us, fically challenged, and so it goes to someone (eventually) who removes all of the trees, levels the terraces and lays concrete over everything for parking their car, boat 4×4 and anything else that they can think of on. Couple the “minimalist planting” of flaxes and cordylines and there goes the neighbourhood! 😉
