After many years work – The Box was put to the test as the family journeyed up from Melbourne – hosting 25 people on the deck for Christmas lunch (albeit in Novmeber).

It was a lovely weekend – and The BOx worked a treat.

  • to mow the lawn
  • to make a garden
  • to have a dog

    • So when we bought our abode in Warrimoo there was some lawn to be mowed, a garden to be tended, and definitely the yard for a dog to run wild and free. However the house on stilts didn’t offer us much protection in keeping said dog inside purchased land.

    So we reveled in other people’s dogs – namely our parents. In January my parents bought this gorgeous little puppy Shaogo – who ran amock on our deck and generally caused a bucket full of mischief. The little slideshow is some pics of her looking sickeningly cute. (By the way if you hadn’t noticed – I have fallen in love with this google slideshow – damn you google and your irresistible goodies)
