A wisteria vine drapes over the front door of Tanja Paff and Tim van de Tooren’s stone farmhouse, clusters of purple blossoms wafting a sweet fragrance with every passing breeze. Freshly washed laundry dries on the line, illustrating one of the simple joys of country life. The first time the couple glimpsed the house sixteen years ago, it looked very different.



What an amazing special issue !! I thoroughly enjoyed the French Cottage from page one to the back cover !
The above photo of the cottage entry which is encapsulated in blooming Wisteria is by far my favourite and inspires me to consider something similar !
Great job, Victoria !
God bless !
