party week continues

The twenty-second Bubbles and Bagels was held this year at the beach and our friends were interested to see just what we have done - i.e. complicated our life.
They all seemed to like Beechwood in spite of the cool weather: Mary Leech in particular was very taken with the secret gardens as I took little groups on tour of all the nooks and crannies.

Daisy took photos from the lookout room of some of the guests.

Jon Oberer explores the bush garden

This blog hasn't mentioned so far the trouble we've had with the water supply: from the very first day when we flushed the toilet and it didn't refill we've known there is a problem. A new pump was installed and didn't improve matters - David would have to pump the pump to get any water 4 times in one evening so finally the bore specialists were called in and arrived this morning with their drilling rig.

Our bore was deemed totally inadequate so they've had to drill much deeper and replace the new pump with a heavy duty pump. Fingers crossed that we'll be able to flush and not have to return to Mount Gambier for a shower.
(Life is easier for Henrietta who can just dig a hole in the sand.)
