Please forgive me ;D<br />It's nice to think of passing the playhouse on for more children to find treasured memories but unfortunately ours was completely rotten. It would have fallen if we hadn't have taken it down. Sad but true. One of the penalties of travelling and leaving it to someone else's care I suppose.<br />The clean up has been done and other than the base you wouldn't even know it had been there.<br />We haven't decided what to do in that space yet but no doubt it'll be blogged when we do.<br />If you would like to see some of New Zealand then just type that into my search bar and you'll see our adventures in both the North and the South Island. <br />Here's a starter link:<br />http://neesienatters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/our-trip-to-south-island-new-zealand.html<br />I hope you enjoy your virtual trip! ;D<br />Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-57211365393353149502013-10-17T20:06:06.580+01:002013-10-17T20:06:06.580+01:00Your travels sound wonderful, I would love to see ...Your travels sound wonderful, I would love to see New Zealand, etc, Scotland too for that matter, my ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland. Your playhouse was such a lovely of blue, I can imagine some wood as a picture frame if any is still sound. We left our children's playhouse when we moved but gave it to another family so perhaps it is still in use. It is such fun to tear things down, but the piles afterward are staggeriing, I hope the clean-up is going well.

It had been neglected for all the time we were away so the wood was just crumbling. Sad but nothing I could do about it. <br />I think they're fantastic and so versatile for lots of uses, so we will rethink and replace soon (maybe?) :D<br />Just remember to keep painting and protecting your play house and your GD will be able to have treasured memories for years to come! <br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday with lots of creativity and fun packed in! <br />xoxo<br />Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-29007237173753254382013-10-09T07:30:29.077+01:002013-10-09T07:30:29.077+01:00You too ;DYou too ;DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-55682150414328486362013-10-08T19:15:08.436+01:002013-10-08T19:15:08.436+01:00Oh neesie the sheds über home but you still have t...Oh neesie the sheds über home but you still have the memories.<br />Sounds like your son enjoyed himself, maybe a bit too much.

I'm thinking about a blue bathroom and it might look like a piece from a boat! Keeping a nautical feel might be good as we live near the sea! <br />I might even replace the shed with something similar...or even a chicken coop. There's lots to plan and think about. <br /><br />It's nice to think that your playing house has been relocated to a new home to be appreciated all over again. <br />Have a great week :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-88317419790624397492013-10-08T07:57:11.763+01:002013-10-08T07:57:11.763+01:00Thanks for your understanding Pernilla, but I real...Thanks for your understanding Pernilla, but I really didn't have any choice. It really was rotting away. If we'd have been in the house we could have saved it by treating and painting it when necessary, but with being away, it was just left.<br />Never mind...these things happen and we do have our memories plus photographs so all is not lost. ;D<br />Autumn greetings to you from...(hmm)...not a bad day in Scotland! :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-25518864063932611692013-10-08T07:52:04.390+01:002013-10-08T07:52:04.390+01:00It was a shame Mark, but it would have fallen down...It was a shame Mark, but it would have fallen down if we hadn't have taken it down first. <br />I think everyone I know had a set of those little red table and chairs. They were ideal and so sturdy. <br />I am contemplating perhaps a chicken coop on the shed's base or perhaps a seating area. At the moment I'm not rushing any major plans because I'm wanting to see what the garden has to offer in our first year back. I'm going to sit back and watch...isn't that what the experts recommend? Sounds good to me ;D<br />Then I'll do my thing!!! It'll be hard work but as you know so rewarding (hopefully)! <br /><br />Have a great week and thanks for stopping by :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-3767477375222217122013-10-08T07:45:31.664+01:002013-10-08T07:45:31.664+01:00Well I must explain Jesh that I wouldn't just ...Well I must explain Jesh that I wouldn't just pull it down because the kids had outgrown it. I had other plans for it initially (a hen house for one) but when we inspected it, it really was rotten and needed to go. <br />Who knows I may put a chicken coop on its base after all? ;D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by...Have a brilliant week whatever you have on your plan!
