Better than the real thing

Found Poem of the Week

Better than the real thing

The ultimate seduction has never been easier.
Better than the real thing
this romantic setting above its own olive grove
captures an intoxicating atmosphere
of luxurious calm.
Leave the rest of the world behind.
Built with exquisite detailing
to replicate the authentic look and feel
of a rustic Tuscan farmhouse.
Deep walls
flagstone floors, aged beamed ceilings
oak joinery and hand-forged latches
create enticing character.
A fire burning above the hearth
coaxes you to curl up with a book.
With helipad, ample parking and
numerous options.

Would suit a syndicate.

Found Poem of the Week

This is meant to be a new regular feature but I can't quite work out how to add it, so I'm putting it in as a separate post instead. (Thanks for the source, Donna!)

Found Poem of the Week

waiting

it's really not so much a timeline
but when the markets are more favourable
obviously markets picked up yesterday and who knows
that may continue over the next number
of weeks or months or may not
so it's really not so much a timeline
as we say we're in a strong position
to move forwards with our current development
which is quite substantial where it puts us
so we can fully develop what we've got
really
which is the largest corporate dairy farmer
globally
so we've got a major development piece of work
progressing now
it may be months
but it will wait till it's a favourable environment
