A Fine Day Out

The boys and I enjoyed a lovely day out at Sian's house in Te Kuiti. It was a bit of a twisty journey where I managed to suffer travel sickness even whilst driving but was well worth it when we got there. Unfortunately we did have another traffic jam (NZ style).

A big thanks for Easter choc!

We are eternally grateful for all of the lovely Easter choc we received. Huge thanks to Dean and Penny,Trudy and Rich, Mar and Kath, Pete and Shirl and Mum and Dad. We have enough choc to keep us going for at least ummm.... a few weeks. When/if you eat what we sent to some of you, you will understand how lucky we are to have people send choc to us.

Mount Maunganui

Had a lovely day at The Mount on Saturday. Joe brought his friend Sam as Fraser was at a theme park for his friend's birthday. Just lovely to make the most of the Autumn days before Winter puts in an appearance.

Another Fine Saturday

Just thought we would update the blog with a few photos of us. Have we aged in the last twelve months? We are looking forward to the Easter break and hoping the good weather holds. Joe would like to thank you all for his birthday money. As you can see he spent it wisely on lots of new football gear. He has made it into the school football team and the second Cambridge team.
