The new mailbox at Brady's farm - or the art of recycling.



For years the mailbox at the farm has been a fridge. But last week the microwave blew up. Our dear friend Bernie is not about to let a perfectly useful appliance not find a new use.

Anna, Madison (Anna's best friend) Christian and Bernie and Natalie with the new mailbox.

There is an old kitchen sink down at the farm dump - if we assembled them all in a row... the post lady could probably fix herself a snack?

We enjoyed a lovely lunch, lovely company and came home with a boot full of cow poo.

Contented! Love Mel.

I've seen converted kegs that have split and become unusable, a recycled engine block, and a mannequin. Never seen a microwave letterbox. Quite like it :)

Oh - at the farm Bernie used the keg and his mothers pressure cooker and some other stuff to brew...

well otherstuff... Lots of it.

I cant even think of those times without blushing.
