My first friend at primary school is still a dear friend of mine. Believe it or not, I still remember how we met. We were in the same prep class and we were sitting on the floor during quiet time. She asked me what my name was and I asked her what her name was. Her name was Emma. I had never come across an Emma and I went home telling mum I had a new friend called Amen, as going to a catholic school I was exposed to a lot of amens and at that time to me Emma sounded a lot like amen.
Twenty-six years later, Emma and I are still friends. While we live and work in different circles, we always make the time to catch over Christmas and New Year and for each other's birthdays.
So at the start of the year, I headed over to Em and Mick's new digs. They've been renovating for a while as they work full-time. However, the love and dedication they have put into their home has been worth the wait.
What I love about their house, is Mick the green thumb and hands on type of guy that he is, has created a garden haven that steers clear of any nonna/nonno resemblance. Tasteful, modern and very inviting. It just goes to show how fulfilling something can be when you put love into it.
Inspiration comes from Terra Nostra in Campagnia, Italy. Terra Nostra I am told was an adventure they had in Italy where they were invited to a feast of home grown produce and locally farmed meats. Everything about Terra Nostra was about self-sufficiency, a concept that always gets me spellbound.
