the golden skies
my life is the lace made out of light,
from the feelings that pierced the sky line,
the spindle of the present,
that sows gold and blue,
in the pattern of singing days,
where spring pleases the glance reflected
in your mirrors ...
there is a verge of words that you said:
"thank you, my angel, that you are next to me"

is at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.
 · Well while Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is shut down we took advantage of the circle around it as well as 100-s of people who can not access the juicy grass pastures anymore and now walk their dogs, run and exercise everywhere at its surrounding grounds . I was upset at the start but we discovered so many cool places in our 3 hours walk and chatted to so many walkers like us
The reason of closure seems strange as it sounds more like closing the forest for the birds taking in consideration I only met two couples and a lonely teenager there a couple of days ago ... needless to say there are thousands of birds inside , but perhaps they can not read all the warning signs
As usual I talk in images

​THE ACRE OF ROSES
Meet Sandy Roy and Rob Roy
New Zealand born Floral Artisan Sandy McKinley and Melbournian Rob Roy, Trentham’s own Bob the Builder, are founders and custodians of Acre of Roses. Sandy and Rob’s story is one of deep friendship rooted in their mutual Celtic heritage blossoming into an enduring partnership via a series of serendipitous events and connections that lead them to where they are today.
Sandy left her career as a marketer to pursue her childhood passion for flowers when she moved next door to a renowned and newly retired florist who trained and mentored Sandy to open her own floral studio where she created a successful business growing her own peonies and crafting events and weddings in the region. When the opportunity to purchase 1,000 mature heritage rose bushes arose Sandy & Rob grasped at it to fulfil their vision. Rob, experienced in restoring historic homes and no slouch in the floral arrangement department himself, set about renovating their cosy Miner’s Cottage with the same tenacity he applied many years earlier breaking in horses. He says it’s been kind of the same thing. Hard work but incredibly rewarding to see raw beauty realise its potential.
And just like that An Acre of Roses was born.
An Acre of Stories
Acre of Roses has been brought to life in collaboration with the help of a very talented community of local gardeners and creative souls. More than a beautiful cottage and garden, it’s become an acre of stories narrated by the property and people who have contributed to its growth. Tim Pilgrim, the horticulturalist behind Paul Bangay and The Estate Trentham’s productive gardens, is the resident gardener. Together Sandy and Tim have developed the land to include a potager; fruit trees; herbaceous borders; a wildflower meadow; the roses; and beehives to pollinate it all.
When Rob brought home a windfall of local salvaged bricks local artist and stonemason, Tom Hamlon, was invited to create a folly that was inspired by Sandy’s fascination for ruins, and her family stories of an ancient castle on a clifftop that was the family seat at Rathlin Island in Ireland; and, of the local region’s gold rush ruins. Tom created a folly that is a rustic idyll and gateways the romantic wildflower meadow beyond. The interiors of the Miner’s Cottage have been decorated and styled by Belle Hemming-Bright of Inside Story: @inside_story_
I do not know what is with this amazing location and gorgeous property, The Acre Of Roses - simple name, simple town, simple down to earth people working on the garden...
Our small crew of two models, two media crew members and one make up artist / hair stylist got so inspired by it air and the whole feel around the garden and the grounds... I do not know what to say and how to explain it - while walking in the gardens that very early sunrising morning of our shoot on 31 January I felt the energy that was coming out from the Earth as if someone's soul soaked in through the ground and turned into the liquid gold, natural gems and crystals of cosmic beauty... My mind was boosted with ideas immediately.. .As I was driving back home, thought "Trentham is one magical place.... I will never forget it... " If it was only myself I would understand but he whole crew was feeling pretty much the same... I think I expressed it the right way with the words that I had in my mind...
Recommend everyone to visit.. our photos and the BTS video are coming up...

​Madman Films present a documentary called The Biggest Little Farm https://www.madman.com.au/…/v…/47850/the-biggest-little-farm
in cinemas January 12
A testament to the immense complexity of nature, The Biggest Little Farm follows two dreamers and a dog on an odyssey to bring harmony to both their lives and the land. When the barking of their beloved dog leads to an eviction notice from their tiny LA apartment, John and Molly Chester naively make the choice to move to the country to build a sustainable farm. The land they’ve chosen, however, is utterly depleted of nutrients and suffering from a brutal drought. THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM chronicles eight years of daunting work and outsized idealism as they attempt to create an utopia of 10,000 orchard trees, over 200 different crops and animals of every kind – including an unforgettable pig named Emma and her best friend, Greasy the rooster. As their plan to create perfect harmony takes a series of wild turns, they realise that to survive they will have to reach a far greater understanding of the intricacies and wisdom of nature, and of life itself. Beautifully capturing the remarkable scale of the journey and featuring unforgettable characters of both the two and four-legged variety, THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM is an inspiring and educational story for the whole family.
