My goodness. We have been at the cottage for three months and I can honestly not really believe it. It is somehow time to tidy, sort pack and head back to Maleny and our life there.
It has been, as ever, a joyous time filled with the beauty of the landscape, the generosity and warmth of friendships, and daily moments of joy and wonder.
As I remember back to the beginning and reflect on our time here, so many special moments appear. I have just edited this to say there are more photos than usual here - I just keep remembering lovely things!

The joy as our garden grows...apples and plums beginning...

Solstice sunset (10.21pm) with a BBQ on the beach with dear friends.

And the cove at 11.42 pm - that line of sunset light lingers, and the night is not dark.
And our happy place - the cottage on a beautiful big blue sky day.

And what you don't see is all the meals and morning teas and chats in the garden and cups of tea we have shared with dear friends and neighbours in the village and beyond. What a time it has been...
It feels a bit like this is a love letter to this time, and this place, and these people...
Another land of light... being there for so long seems to have really allowed you to sink in to the daily rhythms of the place, visits that can go beyond that temporary feel of 2 - 3 week stay and let you be there in every sense. Safe travels as you find your way to your other home.
