Welcome

Welcome to the Fairlie Funky Farm blog where Nick and Lisa will be describing their adventures renovating Nga Punawai, an old home in Fairlie, South Canterbury, New Zealand.

There are no tennis courts anymore but we have found where they used to be, a large oak tree is lying across them and would be wonderful to slab up for some furniture. There is not much of an orchard or garden left, but the bare bones are there and I have gathered up some hazelnuts, chestnuts and walnuts to crack open and taste and/or roast. The chooks seem to hang out under the walnut tree, two black, two white and a very proud and hansome rooster. They are wild and even though we have started feeding them, it will be a while until they get used to being fed. There is a chook house but it is full of rubbish and a dead calf....another project to write up on the 'to do' list, so the chooks will be left to roost in the shed roofs until another day.
