At last we’ve managed to come up to stay for nearly two weeks after the winter rush has finished, and just before the September school holidays. It’s a lot warmer than the last time we stayed, but very windy just at the moment.
As always, we rushed to see what our visitors are saying. It’s such fun to read the lovely comments and compliments—really, it makes the whole business of renovation more than worth it!
But the visitors’ book is also where our guest leave suggestions, and when appropriate, our wonderful cleaner Rebecca lets me know if there anything that might need attention. As you can see, we try to respond as quickly as possible 
Three sets of visitors noted a lack of a non-stick frypan, so, voila!
It’s also fun to receive the slightly more unusual comments

…he was a pretty poor excuse for one. [Such good printing for a 4-year-old :)]
PS. I love that an IKEA truck stopped at your front door and left you with half their store !!! [Actually, we had to haul half the store up the mountain ourselves, with the help of a good friend and a trailer, and the rest in many, many trips in our Mazda3 ]
Where are the squirells??? [In Austria, not Australia 
]
It was good. I guess [Thank you. I guess :)]
When I went outside I had to be careful not to step in wallaby poo but in the end I had to step in wallaby poo.[Sorry about that, chief :)]
The wallaby poo is rather abundant right now, for two reasons – one, the lack of rain means it’s not being broken down as fast as usual, and the same lack of rain means our wonderful mower man/generally amazing bloke Allan Govan (who also owns the gorgeous Clydesdales you will see out and about up here) hasn’t had much to do, and so the poo is left undisturbed.
We need rain! (And not just for poo removal
