The Blessed Udder We purchased a historic Catholic Church and presbytery on a hill, slowly restoring its beauty and reimagining it as a homestead.

Honoring its past while raising goats, quails, and gardens, we’re breathing new life into this sacred place.

🐣 Exciting little update from the quail nursery! 🐣

Two and a half weeks ago, we placed 32 eggs into the incubator. Out of those, 28 hatched successfully, with four sadly not making it. That leaves us with 24 healthy baby quails happily running around and keeping us entertained!

We’ve now loaded another 43 eggs into the incubator, so in another 2½ weeks we’re hoping to welcome another big batch of fluffy little arrivals.
By then, these current babies should be big enough to move on to the next stage, making room for the newcomers.

It’s amazing to watch how quickly they grow! 🐥❤️

Winter was a tough one for our little quail flock, and we lost quite a few birds. But with the warmer weather and longer days returning, the girls have started laying again and the boys are doing their job.
We’ve collected a week’s worth of eggs and they’re now in the incubator. Fingers crossed for a great hatch! 🐣
If all goes to plan, in about three months we’ll have a full setup again, producing eggs, meat, fertiliser for the gardens, and hopefully a few birds and eggs to sell as well.
We’ve even built them a small outdoor run, so every week or two they get out for a scratch around and a good stretch.
Homestead life is all about starting again after a hard season. Here’s hoping for plenty of healthy hatchlings!

🌱 Spring Growth and New Beginnings 🌱

Spring is well and truly here, and with it comes new life and exciting opportunities in the garden.
At the start of winter, we heavily pruned the beautiful rose tree and grapevine between the church and the Presbytery , encouraging fresh, healthy growth for the season ahead. The results have been amazing. The rose tree has responded with vigorous new shoots, allowing us to take 35 cuttings that we hope will grow into beautiful new plants. With more to come.

We’ve also taken 50 cuttings from our maple tree. In just one week, they have already doubled in size and are growing exceptionally well. With a bit of patience and care, we’re hoping they all strike roots and become a whole new generation of trees.

As for the grapevine, we’ll let it continue to grow, water and fertilise it through the season, and see what sort of grapes it produces. If all goes well, we’ll take cuttings at the end of summer and continue the cycle next year.

It’s a wonderful reminder that growth often starts with a simple act of faith. What may look like a bare branch today can become something beautiful tomorrow.

Tonight feels like a gift. The temperature is perfect, the fire is glowing just right, and the sunset is spilling its colours across the property like a blessing. Moments like these remind me why we love this life — slow, simple, peaceful, and full of God’s goodness.

Sitting here by the flames, eating marshmallows and watching the day settle over our little patch of earth, my heart feels full. So blessed. So relaxed. So grateful for this place we get to call home.

✨ Another Treasure From the Past Unearthed ✨

There’s something magical about stumbling across a piece of history that feels like it was waiting just for you. Today we found another fantastic little keepsake — another thread in the story of our property, another whisper from the past reminding us just how much life this place has seen.

And the best part? This is the second gem we’ve discovered at this amazing little shop The Bridge Stores. Honestly, it’s one of those places where you walk in thinking you’re just browsing… and walk out holding a piece of someone’s story. Absolutely worth the visit every time.

You never know what you’ll find — maybe even a piece of your own history waiting to be rediscovered. 🌿✨

If you’re ever nearby, pop in. Let curiosity lead the way.
Treasures have a funny way of showing up when you least expect them.

🌱 Good Friday on the homestead

There’s something special about working toward self‑sufficiency one small step at a time. Today was all about weeding, cleaning, and tending our little vegetable patch — and look what greeted us… our very first radishes.

Tired arms, dirty hands, and that quiet sense of yes, this is worth it. Every little harvest feels like a promise of what’s to come. One bed at a time, one season at a time, we’re building something real here at The Blessed Udder.

Fresh radishes on Good Friday feels like a tiny blessing in itself.

🌱 Bit by Bit, This Place Is Becoming Home 🌱

There’s a special kind of satisfaction that only comes from doing the work yourself. The kind where your arms ache, your shirt is soaked, and you’re covered in dirt—but you stand back at the end of the day knowing you actually moved the needle forward.

We’ve started putting hedges along the front of the property—part windbreak, part privacy, part “let’s make this old place look loved again.” Twenty‑eight holes to dig. Eighteen done. Ten to go.

Every hole has been a surprise… roots, rocks, old remnants from who‑knows‑what used to be here. It’s slow going, and some days it feels like the ground is fighting back. But little by little, it’s taking shape.

One day at a time. One hedge at a time. One small victory at a time.
That’s how you build something worth having. 💛🏡✨

✨ A Little Sign with a Big Purpose ✨
Living on a historic property means we’re blessed with something truly special — a place that carries stories, memories, and a whole lot of curiosity. Over the last 6 months  we’ve had many people stop by, take photos, admire the old church, and ask about its history. I’ve always loved those moments. I’m more than happy to chat, share the story, and even show people around when I’m able.

But every now and then, a few wander a little too far and step into buildings as though they’re still public spaces. So we decided it was time to put up a sign — not a “No Trespassing” or “Private Property” sign, because that didn’t feel right for a place with so much heart and history. Instead, we chose something that explains what this property was, when it closed, and what it is now.

It’s simply there to give clarity, honour the past, and gently remind visitors that while the history is shared, the home is lived in.

We’re grateful for everyone who appreciates this old church and its story. Thank you for respecting the space, the work we’re doing, and the life we’re building here. 🤍⛪🌿

🚿 Renovation Reality Check — and a Little Back‑to‑Basics Joy 🪣

We’ve been working hard on the bathroom this week, and taking out the old hot water system has opened up more space than we ever expected. It already feels like a completely different room — lighter, bigger, and so much more practical.

Of course, renovations always come with their quirks. With the plumbing mid‑upgrade, we’ve been relying on the spare shower in one of the bedrooms… minus the hot water. So we’ve gone back to basics: a bucket, a scoop, and a bit of old‑fashioned ingenuity.

And honestly? It’s been surprisingly wonderful. Simple. Refreshing. A reminder that comfort doesn’t always come from convenience — sometimes it comes from slowing down, laughing at the situation, and making the best of what you’ve got.

Every little step forward in this old house feels like a victory. One day we’ll look back and say, “Remember when we were showering with a bucket?” and smile, because it’s all part of the story we’re building here.

Here’s to progress, patience, and finding joy in the in‑between moments. 🤍✨
