Just a couple of quick pics from before the holiday posts..
Had what might very well be the last flat party before we all get kicked out (the landlady (lovely)) has cancer.. so not too sure what’s happening really.
Anyway – we had a pot luck.. a very kiwi thing?! – where everyone brings a different part of the meal. Really great way of trying lots of different foods – and a cheap and recession proof way to entertain! :)
And then on the Sunday that Maaike and I left for our much needed holiday – Glynn and Jayne were in town.. I believe it’s publicish knowledge now – so it wasn’t just the two of them who came down.. there’s a foster-in-waiting too. Congratulations to them both! Amazing. Anyway – Graham, Myra, Glynn, Jayne, Maaike and I all met up for breakfast at “Under the red Verandah”. Quite yum.
Straight after breakfast – well, brunch, Maaike and I headed down to Twizel (down by Mount Cook). Had a horrible time getting the shopping.. the mall was completely full on a lovely sunny day.
We could see the mountains beckoning (as only mountains can with those big fingers of theirs) in the distance.. but yes.. really glad to get out of Riccarton Mall and head Southwards to Twizel. Did have a decent sunset on the way down!
We were staying in Michelle (Greenwoods) bach (holiday home).. all the water is turned off for winter (in case things freeze up and burst pipes etc.), so had to get all that working on arrival. Did so (phew).
