The first days of summer up here at Binna Burra are a little like a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel…there are white and yellow butterflies everywhere, sometimes so many that it’s like walking through clouds. The air and earth are full of moisture and warmth, with grass and plants growing before our very eyes. If you listen carefully you can almost hear them bursting through the soil and breathing with a sigh into the light and air. And we are experiencing interludes of bugs, particularly in the early evenings as beetles and flying ants make for glowing indoor lights. It’s a mixture of heaven and hell, dreams and nightmares (particularly for those who have a fear of bugs!) |

Here’s your chance.
