Homemade local whole food sourced

A stunning candlelit space exploding

The firepit flame leaping

a crystal studded chilling sky

When ten sets of feet leap as high in the air

With arms outstretched towards the open sky

And smiles break out with utter joy,

With peels of laughter

and moments set in memories,

We celebrated a brief over night gathering.

Set in a hand hewn Barn

called housewithnonails.

Manilla came to visit us

The most beautiful friendly lovely people ever!!!

Gathering around the firepit

Lingering under a star studded canopy

A destination stay in New Zealand

In 1992, a Barn rose out of the earth.

A local timberframer

imagined how an ancient building method

Could fashion his wooden home.

Cyclone Bola strewn trees on the landscape.

Resource became robust material in his hands.

Trees became beams defining spaces.

A magnificent raw architecture revealed

A forgotten craft.

Housewithnonails as it is known today

Allows guests an opportunity to walk inside

And feel its sense of place.

A Barn destination stay.

The Timberframers wife,

as featuring under the Beamwork

that starry night in 1992.
