The Love Shack

...is a little old place where we can get together. But more realistically it is actually the name of the our that we are staying in at the Papanui farm. It's was dubbed this wonderful name as it was being built by Mark, the man who owns the farm, and some of his helpers at the time. Apparently they would continually ask what they were building and he would respond "a love shack of course!" Ever since the project was completed the name stuck. But it important to mention that our house stands separately from Mark and his wife Di's house.

Anyways, we are staying in a nice double bed right off the kitchen of the house (perfect for a midnight snack of course) and right outside is a wonderful deck that has both a pool table and a ping pong table if we still have energy left over when we are done with a full days work. The other door connected to the deck allows access to the living room where we have found ourselves watching some prime time Australian cable in the evenings to wind down from the long day.

The gardens right near the houses are beautiful. I even picked a lemon right off the tree from just five steps from the edge of the deck. Along with citrus there are spices and vegetables all available for our personal consumption.

The living quarters we have been provided are more that welcoming and it is more than we could ask for. We are currently watching a typical sunset over the horizon of the farm just feeling how hard we worked today and now how much we love to feel relaxed.

Until later,
Jes & Brian
