Anyone know why these black kites visit us on super hot (40C+) afternoons?
I’m guessing they’re riding thermals but really have no idea.
Would love to hear what you think!

We’ve got news!

Girragirra has been shortlisted in the Architecture and Design National Sustainability Awards. What an incredible honor!

This recognition is 100% testament to the remarkable vision of our architect, Tone Wheeler Environa Studio In his own words “a culmination of 40 years of design learnings and experiments”.

Master builder Bernie Horan BHB Bernie Horan Building Contractor and team transformed Tone’s vision into rock solid reality and landscape architect Catriona Glanvilles design captured the essence in both garden and paddock.

Talk about a dream team!

Want to improve your gut health?

THIS SATURDAY we’re running a fermented foods workshop at Girragirra and we’ve had a few last minute cancellations.

So if you’d like to learn how to make your own veggie ferments like kimchi and kraut, drinks like kombucha and kefir and a few simple cheeses at a fraction of the price of shop bought, join us!

Jump on the “workshop” link in the bio for more info or to book. We’d love to welcome you to Girragirra.

I love that we can offer our guests our own freshly baked sourdough with their brekkie supplies.

This morning we baked a few 100% wholegrain rye sourdough tin loaves for us as well - thanks for the inspo !

They are pretty delicious if rye is your thing and I’m wondering if we should offer guests a choice between a traditional sourdough load (see pic 2), or one of these tasty little rye numbers.

Thoughts?

What to do with ALL THE QUINCES?
Here’s one recipe!

Our very own Champion, and I, picked bowls and boxes of these beautiful, aromatic quinces (variety Champion) in our garden this morning.

We’ll give as many to our friends and guests at the Retreat as they would like.
We’ll poach and freeze some for winter treats and preserve the rest.

I needed to look no further than ’s beautiful book, A Basket by the Door for inspo. Ever generous, Sophie’s happy for me to share one of the recipes I’ll be using in the pics above. I’ll substitute quinces in the fig cobbler as Soph suggests.

But truly, do yourself a favour and buy this book, maybe throw a few hints out for Mother’s Day, or even better, gift one! I’m pretty sure it will become a favourite.

What’s your fav way to cook these golden gems?

This old(ish) farmer, can fix most things.

Here he is .p.bakery, fixing the flour mill with the help of YouTube, several croissants and at least a dozen coffees.

I may, or may not have done something to upset the ute while he’s been away,but that’s a job for another day …
