Very sad. Last Thursday the big move out from En Passant - 2 x 20' containers, 1 into storage, the other into our temporary, rental abode. Dogs, Romulus & Marcus, wondering what has happened as they have lost the run of 140 acres, although have found out they can run circuits around our little cottage, but definitely miss their dips in the dams and chasing the roos. House hunting continues....

Thank you all for the well wishes - seems like I will have to keep you updated on the big question - where to from here? I am out house hunting tomorrow so watch this space. i think a sea change is beckoning though.

To all friends of The Gardener's Cottage - sad news. I have just sold officially yesterday my property here, and so from end December The Gardener's Cottage shall be no more. I hope you (and your puppies) all have enjoyed your stays here as much as myself, Romulus and Marcus have enjoyed having you here. Unfortunately for those yet to stay here but who have liked our page, we are now fully booked out on weekends up until Christmas. We are off house-hunting in the Northern Beaches as of Thursday so wish us luck. Will keep you posted on our new home. Ciao, Gail
