Autumn 2012

Tasma House and Gardens - Autumn 2012



It's officially cold outside, but after the run of beautiful late Summer/early Autumn blue skies, the crispness is welcomed.

The last few months have seen three weddings, each with a unique flavour, all individually hand-made by their participants.  With help from sought-after local caterers, their families, their friends, and to a great extent, the couples themselves, they managed to make these special events quite successful.

Here is a link to Elle and Terry's Wedding, which was held here at Tasma House in February, 2012.  Elle and Terry have graciously allowed us to share their photographs.  Also, Lara Luz, photographer for this event, has had the wedding written about in RockN'Roll Bride, an international wedding blog, focusing on unique events.

Carla Maxwell has painted one of the scenes from Elle and Terry's wedding (from one of the photo's of the wisteria walk), as well as other garden scenes over the last few months.  I am sure these paintings will end up in some of the garden rooms, as Command Central gets crowded with finished paintings.

It often looks like something out of a children's picture book when I look around the garden and outbuildings during the changing seasons.  Speaking of children, we have seen quite a few in the last few months!  It seems that sharing time away with other families or your own extended family has certainly been popular.  There have been two four-generation events at Tasma House and Gardens.  These multi-generation events have a great sense of honour attached to them, as they are momentous for those gathered, and it is an honour to host such an event by providing the type of place where everyone feels at home and welcome, from infants to distinguished older guests.

Other great weekends have included:
  • A 91st Birthday, with a birthday-girl flying in from England, and 4 generations to help her celebrate. 
  • Successful business operators from another regional town enjoyed bringing their whole extended families away for a fun four days together.  They cooked for each other and entertained themselves with luscious indulgence.
  • A group of midwives gathered for a weekend workshop, to network, learn, and relax together.  
  • Significant birthdays 30th, 50th, and 91st have had a look in these last few months.

Looking ahead, lots of people will be coming to stay, for all sorts of reasons with some bookings already for 2013.  How luxurious to savour the planning of a special gathering and have a full 12 months to let the momentum and anticipation build!
