		<title>Farewell Helen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a sad duty to perform and that is to announce to our old and not yet met friends around the world the recent death of Helen at her beloved Stanton. The breast cancer she was diagnosed with three years ago took her away and she will be missed by us all.
The house that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Walls of Stanton Have Many Stories To Tell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
By dint of its 188 years, the walls of Stanton have many stories to tell, the most dramatic probably concerning the day in 1843 when bushranger Martin Cash and friends arrived, held 16 people at gunpoint in the drawing room, relieved the house of its valuables, charmed the ladies present, and galloped off into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;ve been busy, busy. busy …</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With all these ‘lists’, one could be forgiven for thinking that Stanton is merely a paradise of lost hours, lying around reading, listening to music, watching movies, smelling the flowers, munching on fresh produce.
Well, you’d be right, of course, there is an awful lot of that goes on, but this summer has been probably our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music, books and films galore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Books we’ve read during January: Nicholas Shakespeare’s In Tasmania (constantly amazed by this wondrous island, its history and secrets); Vikram Seth’s Two Lives (terrific Christmas present); Artemis Fowl (likewise Christmas present, but wouldn’t it make a good movie?!); Simon Jenkins’ England’s 1000 Best Houses(inspiration/envy factor), JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the vegie garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Garden goodies harvested this month: giant rhubarb, silverbeet, English spinach, broccoli, beetroot, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, carrots, all sorts of lettuce, cabbages, strawberries, raspberries.
The ‘bloomin’ garden (sorry Peter Cundall) is currently awash with roses, lavender, Oriental lilliums, hydrangeas (those that haven’t been burnt by a few nasty hot windy days — yes, we get them), dahlias, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Festive Cheer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
    We’ve planned and we’ve plotted, we’ve dusted and swept,
    We’ve weeded and painted until we’ve all wept.
    Stanton finally opened as a small B&#038;B,
    And guests we’ve had plenty, both paying and free.
    So Stanton belongs now in public [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stanton By Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Stanton by night. As a city-dweller, one forgets just how bright the stars can be without city light and pollutant interference.
On a cool, crisp night, bundled up in a coat, with red wine and dog in tow, Mark and I often stroll up to the ‘Stanton Stones’ (sorry about the bad pun) in the paddock [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Blue Bedroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Living in an old house involves a lot of guess work as to the previous uses of rooms and areas.
The blue bedroom is 4 steps below the main second floor, and was originally a larger room, with two other rooms opening directly off it (now bathrooms). We suspect that this was a nursery or at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
More stories … a Victorian dressing table that came from an old house in Brisbane, another wardrobe from Narnia, and an interesting double bed, which originally drew me to it because the end looked like a witness box!
It’s previous owner had it for most of her long married life to a First World War hero, [...]]]></description>
