Marmalade cottage was built in 1917. Then it was renovated in the 1950s. Then nothing, really. It's been empty for a couple of years and still has its fabulous, kitsch linoleum floor coverings. And an outside loo and a beautiful cream and green Metters wood stove. Come with us as we transform a gracious shell into a functional house and create a fragrant, edible garden around it.

Nearly, nearly there!
At last the SOLD sign has gone up in front of our house. We had the final pre-settlement inspection this afternoon, and a good laugh with the real estate agent about the ghostly activity in the house.
Our plans are starting to become tangible. The electrician and plumber are booked and have promised their work will be done within only a couple of days. We're going to believe them, because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
Our rental was open today to prospective tenants - who looked very suspiciously at the appliances and fittings we've collected in our carport. So far, we've got a stove, bathroom basin and taps, hot water service, kitchen bench and a toilet.
Settlement is next Friday, and then there will be a flurry of activity.
