Le Pecile


Le Pecile is a centuries old chateaux that has been renovated in the last 5 years. It's grand without being in the grand designs category. It's comfortable with wonderful views from every window.

Its been raining a lot ,not a negative for Victorians, but its not cold. However the ground is waterlogged and a stream is flowing through the old barn where we tend our 3 sheep, 12 chooks, 2 cats and Batty the donkey. Anyone need eggs?

Meanwhile the house dogs turn their noses up at 'il pleut' and cuddle up on their couch in the kitchen.
The first half hour of the day is spent in our wellies tending to the animals. A walk down through a few oaks reveals many shades of green, something not familiar to south eastern Australians. There is new growth everywhere, a contrast after a severe winter. The roses are blooming and the vegie plots been planted.
