Tasma House and Gardens - Summer 2012
Australia Day 2012 -- A blue sky day for Tasma House, with a three-generation family gathering off to a beautiful early weekend start. The sound of happy kids fills the air, along with a fresh breeze that is so much appreciated after a few hot days.
It is five degrees cooler in the shade of the front verandah or in the garden under the tree canopy. Twelve ducks and two cormorants were visiting the pond this morning, but the fish are pretty canny and have, so far, avoided the cormorants' beaks.
Tasma House has been booked every weekend this summer, so far. There have been 40th birthday celebrations, an intimate wedding, a school-friends gathering, a larger catered wedding ceremony and function. A number of family groups have stayed for 3-4 days together, bringing the whole gang.
The Boite Singers Festival returned this summer to Daylesford for its 26th annual festival. The singers that run workshops and perform at the evening concerts have a home here during their time in Daylesford.

One of the weddings that was held here has sent us some delicious photo's of their special moments and have allowed us to share them.
More to come, but here is a sneaky-peek. The photographer's name is Nina Williams, www.NinaWilliams.com.au.
Carla Maxwell has been painting in watercolours over the last few weeks on our kitchen table, and she is capturing the many birds and animals that are attracted to the gardens at Tasma House with her brushwork.
These beautiful paintings will inspire more creative works, with each season providing plenty of source material for inspiration. Watch out for some of the finished work around Tasma House soon.
