“The pause is as important as the note." — Truman Fisher

A simple little journal painting which seems apt for the feeling that’s on my heart this evening.

The paints in this embellished gel print have become ones I find I am reaching for since being inspired by the colours of the wheatbelt.

I love this quote - silence, rest, and empty space in music (as in life) are just as vital to creating meaning, rhythm, and emotion as the active sounds or actions themselves.

This weekend’s wellbeing retreat felt very much at home in the grounds of Lavendale.

It means a lot to know a stay here was everything our guests had hoped for.

Thank you, Maureen, for choosing us for your group’s retreat, you were a delight to host.

Steve and I dream a lot about our hopes for the future here at Lavendale.

Our chats keep returning to healing and space—creating a haven for slow travel, regenerative tourism and restorative hospitality.

Yet we know it’s not always practical to get away when we need some peace. It’s also about finding moments of calm in the midst of the every day.

I don’t have much time just now, but I’ve pulled out my paints for a few minutes here and there—being present with nature as I see what colours can be mixed with different pigments.

Because sometimes making space is as much about mindset as it is about circumstances.

“Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate.”

We’re in! After 26 weeks in a Lavendale cottage while we renovated, we can finally start settling into our new home.

It feels significant to mark this moment of change — what’s brought us here and the hope of what’s to come.

Very grateful today to these four generations in our family for helping us get here.

We had a small window between group retreats and a rather ambitious plan!

It’s been all hands on deck to give our Community Room a makeover. It feels so beautifully fresh—what a difference a few days and a lot of paint can make.

How am I so blessed? My friend Meghan made us dinner from the spinach harvest yesterday. This was hands down the best risotto I have ever tasted!

By the way, Meghan does the catering for events at Lavendale. ☺️

If you pop into Meghan’s café, bellissimoyork be sure to try their delicious Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni —you’ll also be sampling some fresh produce from Lavendale’s gardens 🪴

We had a gorgeous morning for picking herbs and vegetables and planning what to plant next.

One of my favourite parts of our days here is hearing people tell us how much they love the changes we’ve made.

It’s not a pride thing. We just genuinely put so much thought and love into the spaces we’re creating for you.

We think about how comfortable we hope you’ll be. How rested we hope you’ll feel. How much you might enjoy the beauty from every viewpoint.

There’s still much more planned, so follow along for the little updates as we go.

Hearing that you’re enjoying Lavendale along the way brings us so much joy.

Thank you for noticing, and for taking the time to tell us.
