So whose up for a Very Long Weekend? How awesome is it that Australia Day, the one day we are meant to laze on the sun, sip our wine and beer, play lawn cricket, and wear singlets (blue of course) with speedos and bikinis no matter our size! And of course throw a snag on the Barbie! Its a day of fun, slip and slide and cricket at our house? Sure we are all a lot sorer from the cricket than the slip and slide (but that because the time honoured kids verse adult challenge is now serious because they are getting better than some of us. Mainly me) but we all throw our bodies into it.

Thank goodness is all I can say for our soft lawn where we partake enthuse little adventures. This year I turned 36 and I don’t seem to bounce as well as I did at 26! So when I throw myself down our slip and slide at speeds only reflected by a lightning strike and slid to a stop at the other end, its good to know that I have a super soft blue couch lawn to comfort my instability to stop. And for the Cricket match to end all cricket matches, the Kids verses adults, six a side Cricket match, pitching Mum verses Son, Dad verses Daughter, Aunt verses Nephew, Uncle verses Nieces, Grandparents picking the winning side as their own at the end, I do love a wonderful soft cushioning lawn to help me catch that match winning hit. I may fall dramatically when I pluck the ball out of the air. And my older not so fit as it used to be body is very glad to have the cushioning bounce of the Blue Couch to comfort my body.

So whats your Very Long Weekend (for those taking Monday off as well) going to entail? Installing a new Coastal Turf Lawn so next year you can hold the Match of the Year at your place? BBQing next to a robust Buffalo lawn? Strolling to the beach across the Tweed Shire Councils Coastal Turf Parks or just enjoying the park lands?

What ever you decide to do have a great time. And remember if you get your orders in by Friday we can deliver you some lush lawn for you to have an Australian Day party and have your friends come over and help you lay it!

PS no pictures to day as my kids who are still on holidays want to add a picture of me playing cricket. I said I didn’t think anyone needed to see such uncoordinated-ness.:)

At they time of year, my kids always complain why don’t we go on holidays like EVERYONE else. It seems that everyone in the whole entire universe goes on holidays at this time of year, especially camping. We don’t go on summer holidays. We live near the beach, in a beautiful part of the world, where other people come to holiday. And the farm paddocks, the paddocks that will one day become your new lawn, need our care and pampering in summer to bring out the best in them, so your new lawn will be the best in the street. So this year, I sent my kids on a mini camping holiday.

Not really in an exotic exciting place with new and different people to meet, but in our backyard with the family pet dogs. On our soft cushioning Coastal Turf lawn. The lawn was a fantastic place for the kids to set up our two little tents by themselves, we did say no camp fire, and they set up their little beds in the tent. The cushion of the lawn was so much better for the kids bodies than the hard dirt of some of the natural parks dirt floor camping grounds I have been to. Last year we took out some beautiful green couch to the Hosanna Farmstay camping grounds in Uki NSW, and now I know why. It wasn’t just for the beauty of the lawns, (which is really stunning our there)  but also for the comfort of their guests.

This year if you are one of the people who don’t live in my kids universe of everyone going on holidays, and have kids who need to get out of the house for the night, I suggest kids camping on your Coastal Turf soft fluffy lawn. The lawn will be soft and comforting the kids happy they are on a special adventure, and maybe like my husband and I, you can pretend that the kids are away for the night and enjoy a relaxing glass of wine. Almost alone….

I love this picture. Its a cross section of a blade of grass, with dye, put under a microscope. Isn’t it amazing how there are little faces that smile at you! It would be awesome if the scientists had used blue for the water areas and yellow and green for the chlorophyl. But it does show the plant with smiley faces! I just think its great that Grass is “Happy”. I know that seeing green grass always makes me feel happier. A bit more relaxed in my surroundings. I don’t know about you, but green areas are always that little bit happier places for me. Be it grass or trees or shrubs. But I do prefer grass.

And I know think that I prefer grass because it is already happy! And its happiness must flow through to me. Or something like that…

Oh no I just read the title and I realised that some people might think we are growing the wrong type of grass! We grow definitely lawn varieties of grasses. And it does make me happy, but not the-slumped-back-in-a-chair-with-the-munchies type happy. Just inner peace happy. Oh no. What you people must think if me now.

So make your happy with a bit of grass.

I love even years! I don’t know why. I think we all have our little superstitions, and mine is that even years are much better than odd years. I think because all my kids were born in even years. And they are the bright light of our lives. And then the greenness of the farm always seems that little bit brighter in even years. It lights things up. And all my good news comes in even years, and bad news comes in odd years.

And thats why in this glorious even year of 2016, with the new years rain to bring new life to everything and freshen everything up for a bright and lush new year, Coastal Turf is offering a new discount offer of 5% off when you pay for your turf over the phone. Starting from the 6th January and going all year!

We wanted to share the hop and good will this year, rather than the hidden extras, we are offering obvious discounts! Other businesses charge you to use your credit card.  We are offering a discount for paying with your credit card on the phone! Or if you pay before your turf is delivered via direct internet banking transfer the day you order, you can have the same discount!

That way everyone is happy, and we make things more fair more Even. For an Even Year. Your turf will arrive in the morning all fresh and happy ready to become your new lawn, you will have your discount, and the boys will arrive with a smile on their face.
