Our new house


Our wonderful new house: 6 Littlebourne Rd.
Roslyn, Dunedin New Zealand 9010
(in case anyone wants to send us letters!)

We are really loving our house. The only complaint I have is no central heating and only space heaters in most of the rooms. It gets cold at night and sometimes during the day. This house would be great in 90 degree weather. But in our living room there is a heater which keeps that room nice and toasty for us.

These pictures do not do the place justice. All of the ceilings have wonderful ornate designs on them and chandelier lighting. The rooms have great views and a lot of natural lighting. Maybe I will have to have a post on views from my windows??

Here is a picture of the living room. It has working fire place but it has been blocked so we don't get a draft.

The bedroom

Bathroom, with the most wonderful tub.

Separate old fashion type of toilet

Extra bedroom. (I haven't had a chance to get bedding for it yet, but if anyone comes to visit there will be by then!)

Dining room

Third bedroom/study

kitchen


the vegetable gardens, each in it's own plot with blackberries and raspberries already growing.


The backyard


Our landlord brought us cute patio furniture today with a table and two chairs, which is perfect here.

And lastly Daisies. Daisies are my favorite flower and there have been so many blooming all over Dunedin. I was so happy to find some in my yard.

We hope you enjoyed the pictures of the house. Our next post will be of the beach and on Thursday we are off to see the yellowed eyed pequins. So pictures of that to come also.
Cheers!
