Season is fast approaching and we are stocked up and ready for even the most niche request. We may not have the title you’re after but we will help you find the one you didn’t know you NEEDED!

I don’t think you are ever too old to fall in love with a good story book. We have so many to choice from at the moment that you can literally be swept away into a thousand different worlds.

What’s one that you have read 1000 times?!

(For us; it’s Hairy Maclary, never gets old!)

A N A L O G is back, baby!
So, put down that phone, delete that productivity app and grab a notebook.

There is no better feeling than making a list and crossing the jobs off! It feels so good sometimes you add jobs you’ve already done; just so you can cross them off!? No, just me? 🙊

Pete; he’s not just a pretty face. He brings flowers, tends the garden, fixes things and basically keeps a close eye on us to make sure we’re all working!

He’s a reader and all round great guy. This is not a singles ad; just a shout out to let Pete The Rigger know that we love him! 😚

Avoid work at all costs; ‘accidentally’ leave your phone at home. Come hide at Whileaway!

We won’t tell.

Aren’t you due for a sickie?

These three fellas have been keeping us entertained for many (MANY!) years. There is no one better placed to take care of them and keep an eye on them, than Louise!

Big shout out to the many locals that we love like family. Xx 💕
