Springtime Fruit.....

It's always a busy garden time as Spring arrives and it's no exception here at The Springs.

Our gardener, my husband, is currently out trimming the camellias. The citrus fruit in our little eco climate is quite abundant.



Here is a shot of the grapefruit tree and I have already picked lemons to make a lemon loaf to thank our neighbours for collecting our mail while we were away.

Now It's Our Turn.....

Everybody works really hard for their holiday and we are just finishing our time off.

We closed in June for our Winter and we are just home after spending special times with our daughter in Melbourne.

This year there has not been a sunshine holiday, but we are hoping for another stunning Summer to enjoy with our guests.

For our accommodation this time we rented a huge apartment for a couple of weeks and it was just a few minutes walk from the Queen Victoria Market where we spent a lot of time wandering around  soaking in the atmosphere and buying up exotic foods.

If we were here for a shorter stay we would choose a Bed and Breakfast, but, for a longer stay it makes more sense to have the freedom of a kitchen.....and I love to cook!

So, if you are coming our way, see you soon at The Springs.

A big hello to those who have already been with us and pop by to see what we have bee up to.
