25.01.2022 Mother Nature is currently watering us, so took the opportunity to blood and bone and lime the beds.

24.01.2022 One barrow down and not sure how many to go. Oh my poor arms. BK

24.01.2022 Pergola paving in progress path wacker packed in preparation for paving and a present for the cottage a makeup mirror.

24.01.2022 Lifting the old pavers and giving them a new lease of life.

24.01.2022 My sitting rock at the cottage and the view from it. Sometimes it just nice to take a minute and appreciate your own space

24.01.2022 It’s been a bit wet here so we have gone inside and finally finished the wall paper in the cottage

23.01.2022 Woke up to find my strawberry plant s that I raised over winter demolished by possums not happy. MK went out and bought replacements, plus a few bits of colour. Love him so much.

22.01.2022 More work happening at the cottage with the help of Craig & Grace Cooper

22.01.2022 MK doing a rake before the top soil coming in

21.01.2022 Just warming up the cottage for the guests. It’s great to be hosting again.

21.01.2022 MK being a farrier

21.01.2022 The Fatboy pizza oven has been relocated to the cottage. Thanks the Craig and his machine. Then with a little bit of help from The Sheffield Shed for the loan of the pallet jack and some elbow grease it is now in position.

20.01.2022 Just plant two beautiful Horizontal Hawthorn Standards in the garden. Hope they like it here.

20.01.2022 Whilst I was out MK did some mowing. Looking good.

19.01.2022 Got into to some plantings today

17.01.2022 Checking out the flowers that are blooming

15.01.2022 The landscaping is coming together it will give us a larger even grassed area in front of the cottage

15.01.2022 Just found out that a lovely couple did a YouTube clip of their Tasmanian holiday. The cottage gets a mention at the 9.30 minutes. https://youtu.be/Jsi7kfb-vJI

15.01.2022 Here’s what Andy wrote 'A special cottage approached through a deep pine plantation, away from the road with an outlook over forested hills. Comfortable and well set up, with all a short or long term visitor needs. Superbly tranquil at night, peaceful by day, a quick drive down to Lake Barrington and a short hour’s drive up to Cradle Mountain. As nice a place as you could wish for. We were three family members, cottage would suit a couple, or two couples, or a family, or a group of 3-4 friends. Excellent cooking and washing facilities, comfortable beds, clean, organised, with top communication from Birralee. Very warmly recommended.'

14.01.2022 Steam Engines are just a daily event in our local town in Sheffield a short 15 minute drive from the Cottage in the Pines

14.01.2022 It doesn’t look as if though we did much but MK raked with the tractor with me following with a hand rake to do the final smooth for the top soil.

14.01.2022 I asked MK to build me a garden bed. So he did.

13.01.2022 The garden from a different angle. The bees are loving this tree

12.01.2022 Hello all unfortunately Tasmania has had to close its boarders to protect its citizens. We are utilising this time to deep clean and do those jobs that we have been putting off. We are looking forward to a time in the future when people can enjoy our beautiful state again and come and stay at our cottage in the pines. Stay safe Birralee and Michael

12.01.2022 The weather was a bit better today so we finished off the last of the beds ready for planting.

10.01.2022 We have been doing some up grades at the cottage. Starting with some plumbing upgrades for the bungalow to have a bathroom in the future.

09.01.2022 Mulch needed spreading so tied in the brother in-law TK to help. MK and I were moving pavers again but thanks to the The Sheffield Shed it was a little bit easier than before. While Craig Cooper saved our backs by scraping the pathway in preparation for paving. Yes I also did some lifting not just the photographer lol.

09.01.2022 Here’s what Valery wrote. 'Beyond the expectations! Our best Airbnb experience so far!!! We had quite a long trip by that stage and we got lucky to finally come to the right place. I felt like we were at a good friends house. Everything was amazing: welcoming music and turned on lamps, port (saved our evening) and heaps of other little touches. There were numerous little attention, made us fill like at home. It was our best experience so far. Thank you, lovely hosts! You del...iver 150% towards your mission!' 'Beyond the expectations. Your place is amazing! Thank you so much for having us there.'

08.01.2022 Working hard it’s starting to take shape

08.01.2022 Another busy day underway at the cottage both Greg’s are working hard. New table and chairs on the top deck to appreciate those great views with a morning coffee or afternoon wine.

08.01.2022 Here’s what Sandrine wrote 'Amazing house! Birralee was fantastic and we were welcome with a super clean, convenient, amazing cottage and lovely music. The kids loved every moment in the house, the garden, the animals. The cottage is really big and Birralee just made everything so easy!! Thank you for that! The house is super quiet and we can enjoy a fantastic view!' ... 'Thank you again Birralee for your warm welcome in your cottage. We had a lovely time and it was our favourite house of our holidays. Thank you for the music when we arrived, the eggs and everything that we could use, thank you for allowing us sharing time with your animals.

06.01.2022 Nothing like walking through the dappled light in your own pine forest and a photo of my favourite tree. Plus few pics of yesterday’s accomplishments.

03.01.2022 Enjoying having people back at the cottage they seem to be enjoying it too.

03.01.2022 Steam engines are always crusing the the main drag of town at Sheffield 15 minutes from the Cottage in the Pines.
