The Big Move

1:  

My life changing project is well underway. 

Stage 1 is completed. We sold the little house in the Blue Mountains. 

And now the one-room guesthouse on the property of one of our children and family in Bellingen is home. 

It is beautiful here, very beautiful. So relaxing, carefree after all the hassle of the big move. 

Stage 2, plans to build a little cottage here are being worked out, but it will be another big hurdle to overcome. 

I have started gardening here on the first day, of course. 

The last few days in the old place in  the Blue Mountain, when all the furniture had gone we slept on the floor. 

The parrots noticed that something was going on, they felt threatened. 

The cockatoos checked up on us when ever they saw us.

 And their worries made them angry, they ripped my beautiful balcony flowerpot apart. 

 I nurtured the plant back and put it in the ground on the last day. I planted the broken-off bits as well, hoping some of them will strike and regrow.

Still, I kept feeding the cockatoos. 

And more and more came any time of the day, not only in the morning and evenings as usually.
