19.01.2022 My daughters came to spend some time with me. They did jobs that I’ve been unable to do. I am so grateful. It is so good when they come home. Blessed I am to have them. ! These photos are from Mara of my garden. Her business is Red Cherry pottery.

17.01.2022 It has been quite some time since l updated the status of the Rose Cottage. Due to work commitments, l purchased a small, but cute cottage in Gympie. I’m very gradually making it mine. Her name is Hollyhock Cottage. I love her very much. The Rose will always hold my heart though. Everything l am, or was, was poured into her. She was a treasure. She still is. She needs to be loved again. She needs somebody who can feel her heart. Bring her alive again. I believe special p...eople are brought into the tiny township of Bauple. It has a uniqueness unqualified anywhere else. It is where I built my Rose. I have spent 25 years of my life in this special little village. Several months ago, l decided to sell the Rose and move closer to work. A very heart wrenching decision. I want a special person to take over the ownership of my home. If you think you have those qualifications, you can call me to view her. My phone number is 0414964146. See more

16.01.2022 We can dwell in the negativity of the corona pandemic or we can look for the positives that abound if only we look with new eyes. This is a new world, we have no choice but to deal with it and make changes to our lives. I can see so much goodness, so much creativeness, it’s amazing. A time in history that will be not only remembered for what it has taken from the world, but also for the strength it has enabled us to regain as a nation. I’m proud to be an Australian. I’m proud of how far we have come. I will come out the other side with a new respect for many things. I miss all the impromptu hugs most of all. I don’t want to return to the old world, l want to return to a better world. Sharing some of my life as it has been in this time of lock down. XXX.

16.01.2022 For the last 3 years, l haven’t had the strength to do Christmas. This year is different. Easier. My strength has recouped. My mind is at peace. I can laugh again. I’m doing Christmas! Sharing today, photos of life in my lounge rooms. Hope you like them!

15.01.2022 Almost 26 years on, a very long chapter in my book of life is closing. For the first 10 years here in the beautiful town of Bauple, I developed Lavender Blue. Set in amongst the tree’s, overlooking a dam and spring filled creek. There we planted a rainforest. That chapter closed and l chose to buy a block of land and build my dream home. Vintage Rose Cottage came into being. Every inch of my home is filled with love and creativity. Here l let my passion for anything vintage..., develop into tea gardens. Even though l worked full time, my fulfilment was designing, decorating, and sharing my home and gardens with people who loved vintage as much as l did. My daughters and l served Devonshire tea’s in vintage style in the gardens which were dressed for the occasion. That ended suddenly one day and my passion for what l did died. I now have decided to sell my beautiful dream home and move closer to work. I believe there is someone who will love my home as much as l do. I also pray that a new and special home is waiting for me. Though it makes me sad to leave, l am feeling excited at the prospect of renewing my spirit and imagining the development of my next home.

12.01.2022 The best time of the day, is around 5 am. The colours are vivid and strong, not weakened by the sun. It’s a bright, brand new day. A day to be thankful for. A day to love who you are because the day before you might have struggled. It’s another day to live. And to smell the roses .

12.01.2022 Almost ready to move to the next chapter. With the help of my daughter’s and my sister, my home is almost ready to go on the market. It has been a mix of sadness, stress and excitement. For the past 15 years, Vintage Rose was our home. We grew with her. We matured with her. We loved her. The girls have grown into beautiful young women who are making their own way in life. They out grew the Rose. Our home was our fortress, our refuge. It protected us as we matured. The girls have moved into their next chapter, so must l. It is one of the hardest realisations l have ever had to endure. I will embrace my new life.

09.01.2022 A quite extensive part of a healing process involves keeping your body and mind active. For me, it remains my own way of focusing on a positive future. I must love what l do, especially in my profession as a registered nurse. I have a balance to maintain. It involves many aspects of daily living. A huge part is my home life. I may not have a stress free career, but l try very hard to maintain a stress free home life. Coming home for me is entering a separate world. A stepping out from confinement. Leaving the world behind. A blend of peace, quietness and now, privacy. Tonight l will add some photos of my quietness and my peace. X

07.01.2022 Almost 3 years on, l can smile, laugh and enjoy life. Very seldom does the past trauma trouble me to the extent it once did. I think nothing about leaving the house or going on an adventure now. Bitterness has only a small way to go as it exits my life. I never thought l would come to this point in my life. I am content in my Cottage. We have grown and changed together. We are a couple, the Rose and l. She has protected me and kept me safe when I couldn’t face life, sometimes for weeks on end. We give to each other. Such is home. Full of colour, peace, quirkiness, and uniqueness. My happy place. Tonight l share my beautiful gardens. Photos taken before work yesterday. Xxx

06.01.2022 Mixed emotions as l put Vintage Rose up for sale last week. I’m hoping for someone special to buy her. She is everything l am. It’s like leaving my child behind. Knowing that l won’t be back. I am moving for several reasons. Staying here is no longer an option. I am searching for a smaller cottage in Gympie, closer to work. I pray l will find my next perfect home.

03.01.2022 I love looking through the past photos of Vintage Rose Cottage. It inspires me to be creative again, to love life, to enjoy my gardens. I look at life after the trauma and the devastating effect it had on my life. I look at the bitterness l felt when my life was stolen from me. I realise how far I’ve come. I think about where l am now. It was, and always will be a battle to be positive, sane, normal. The face l show you is not always the face l have in private. I am adept at ...hiding what l feel. I will be where l feel l am needed. Living alone is a new thing for me. Never for one moment did l think in the winter if my life, that l would be alone. I take each day as it comes, for each day presents very differently. PTSD is with you daily. Sometimes she is in a meeting all day, but suddenly her entire focus will be on you. You can never prepare for her onslaught. She will catch you off guard. I can only hope that my shield is ready. See more
