As anyone who has passed by knows, ACC is having a major external overhaul. By the end of this week our new doors should be finished (with clear glass so you can see in!). We’ve also given our book library a lick of paint … and thanks to a grant from the State Government, our new pergola our the front of the shed is nearly complete. The roof will go on Wednesday next week.

And we’ve got a new footpath! Council did half Thursday and the other half today.

Then we’ve got some plans afoot for the front garden … which will hopefully begin in the next month. A new sandpit. A new cubby house. Some nature-based water play and a lovely messy mud patch. Which will be great for our playgroups … and for the families in the neighbourhood that often drop in for a play out of hours.

We’re also looking at installing an outdoor kitchen under the pergola (neighbourhood friends I’m not sure where to start with this? We’re thinking an L-shaped stainless steel bench with a sink, an outdoor fridge and a BBQ … if anyone has any expertise/ideas/recommendations???).

So … we’ll be looking pretty swanky for the start of term 3!
