The Barns of Freeling

Quite an impressive fog this morning at the barns!
Instead of waking up to the view of rolling hills and farmland, our guests staying here got to wake up in the clouds.

Great insight into how those special moments are captured forever, thanks for sharing the moves and thoughts that wedding photographers put into those amazing shots Josh Huggett

The heat has just about brought the end of the sunflowers..... a few blooms left but most have reached their end......

Thanks once again to all who have visited and donated, showing their care and support of families with sick children.

We wish all the best to these families and their children who are needing treatment at the Michael Rice.

Those sunflower plants held on for as long as they could, showing incredible strength and toughness.
We wish all of the families strength and toughness as they battle through together.

We will tally the money and pass it on.

Thank you once again.

SUNFLOWERS POST...with an explanation
"Come pick a sunflower for a gold coin donation"
Please take the time to read this post about how to get here, where to park, what to look out for and finally, who we are raising money for😀

It has rolled around to that time of year again, when the sunflower patch (which we have been trying to hide) starts to flower and is ready for picking.

Unfortunately this year, our little sunflowers have been through a lot. They have experienced a very dry summer and a very hot summer, surviving only on the small amount of moisture which was in the soil.

This means the sunflowers are much smaller than normal, meaning they are very cute but they are also very tough!

The sunflower patch is just on the Western side of Freeling, on Templers Road. Easy to spot!
You will see a bale of straw with "ENTRY" written on it, drive into the paddock, keep to the left and follow the directions to the parking area on the Southern side of the sunflower patch.
Please keep in mind that there will be people with young children out picking flowers, so drive at walking pace.
The donation tin (a red toolbox) will be next to the straw bale with "PARKING" written on it.

This year we will be raising money for "The Michael Rice Centre for Haematology and Oncology", based at the Women's and Children's Health Network Hospital.
Our sunflowers are exactly like the children who use the services of the Michael Rice Centre - they've been through some challenging times, but they're small and tough and beautiful like a ray of sunshine 😀
Money raised from our sunflower patch will go directly towards assisting the families of the children at the Michael Rice Centre.
We have been told first hand how much the staff care for the children and importantly, how much they look after the needs of the family - this first hand account has inspired us to support the Michael Rice Centre with this years sunflower patch.

The sunflower patch will be open from sunrise until sunset every day until the flowers are gone.
If anything changes or any notifications need to go out, we will alert you all through this post.

Happy picking! 🌻

Another stunning July morning here at The Barns,
blue skies and rolling fields of green for as far as the eye can see.

I spy something green!
A welcome sight, some barley popping out of the ground to say hello 😀

All is quiet on the farm. A slow bit of seeding happening but we really are waiting for rain to come- which would be wonderful!

One good thing about the dry is the gorgeous sunsets!!! The colours have been amazing.
