I love how you put this in words Lo: "...the freedom of it (DIY) and the happy accidents and surprises that occur when you embrace doing things your own way " accompanied by that pic of the man painting the piece of furniture. Inspiring!

Love this story 👍 Lo !

The Italian man’s front garden & the tunnel footage, winding through like a journey 👌

Whenever I walk along older residential type streets, I like spotting unique aged fence & letterbox styles. Especially dating back to the 1940’s & 50’s, and of course the beautiful stained glass privacy windows, with their different shapes & colours .

My current ‘ute track’ for the past month -

TWO TONE PONY - ‘stormy weather’

( I so wish it would storm here, its very drought like & very concerning )

I highly recommend this song 👍 Lo !

Have a great week 😉

His son is developmentally delayed and is completely mad for Xmas in particular, but I guess also flowers.
