Archives for December 2014

Well as another year slowly closes to an end, I always seem to reflect back on the year. This year I reflect back with a smile. The farm is greener, that little bit bigger and a whole lot better than at the beginning of the year. This year was defiantly a success across the farm for Coastal Turf. Personally this year also saw my eldest graduate from Primary school and my two “Little” ones thrive and grow into amazing children. It has really  been a year of WooHoos!

 

I am also a big believer in the “Just keepSwimming” analogy (from Finding Nemo). Just keep going forward and getting better at what you do. And 2015 is going to be a year for Coastal Turf and the Commens Mason family to do that. Our farm’s new paddocks will be ready to harvest in January/February, our new Truck arrives in January ready to delivery in its sparkling goodness, and of course the grass is always greener at Coastal Turf!!! Personally all my kids start a new school this year, its gonna be fun all round!

 

Thanks 2014 for a great year, and Bring it on 2015. I can’t wait to get started!

Well its only 10 days until Christmas Day! I am so excited! I love Christmas. The joy; the presents ; the people; the fun; the couple of days off!

We are booked until the 22nd December now though. so if you if you want to book in, get in quickly.

Coastal Turf will be stopping deliveries on the 23rd December 2014 and returning on the 29th December until the 31st December.

We will be backing normal Monday to Saturday mode from the 5th January.

So if you want a beautiful green lawn for Christmas or the New Year book in quickly as the delivery days are filling up quick.  At the moment at least 5 days notice is best to ensure you get your turf when you want it. We as always try our best to get it to you as quickly as possible, but some day are already booked up.

Merry Christmas and Peace and Joy to the world!

I love having little kids in our family. Especially at this time of year. They are really the joy of Christmas! And they say the best things!

 

While standing in line to get our Santa photos (again. I think have had 4 now and still not everyone is smiling. Have tried with just my kids, with all the cousins, with family, you name it and we still cannot get everyone to smile at the same time.) with my niece Mia and my youngest son Marcus and we were all chatting about how excited we all are for Christmas and all our families being together and having fun. As we were getting closer to the end of the line, closer to the all powerful and amazing Santa, Mia and Marcus suddenly realised that neither of our families had a chimney and how would poor old santa get into our houses? Our windows are too small for him said Mia.

 

Up pipes Marcus in his authoritative 6 year old way (as Mia is only 5 and obviously doesn’t know as much as he does about life), “Well Mia. It goes like this. He lands his sleigh on your lawn. Thats why you leave carrots on your lawn. But it has to be soft lawn other wise all the presents will get dusty and dirty. Then he Magics in to your hose and leaves the presents. But ONLY Mia if you have been good!”. In my head I am thinking, but Santa is meant to come down dirty smelly smokey chimneys. What difference will a little dirt make? But I am not 5 or 6 so maybe some of the Christmas magic is not shinning so bright in my eyes.

“Of Course!” said Mia. “Thank goodness your Mum just put that new lawn in at our place. My presents will be safe!”

So after a major crisis for Santa had been resolved, Thank Goodness, we moved up the line to tell Santa he would be able to find Mia’s house easily from its bright green soft lawn and that the Deer would be happy standing upon it, and that all the presents wouldn’t get dirty.

 

So if you have a 5 or 6 year old at your house who don’t know how Santa will get to your place, tell them on good 6 year old authority that a nice soft fluffy lawn, and a bit of magic is how he does it.

And of course I believe that a Coastal Turf lawn will mean a softer quite landing for Santa, and a better new year for all.

Merry Christmas everyone

I was going to put Mia and Marcus’ Santa photo here but I couldn’t get either of them to smile at the same time. Both of them were too busy talking.
