Fran and Stewart come to stay

Fran and Stewart came to stay for a few days. Here's Georgia with Poppa, helping him plant the herbs.

Gone to the dogs

Some pictures from the SPCA's fund raising dog show on the North Shore

Sailing

Here's some shots of Papa sailing last Saturday with Murray and Mateusz.

Rarotonga

We had a great ten day break at Muri Beach, Rarotonga, staying at the Pacific Resort (in fact due to a booking error they put us in a villa just down the road, at Te Manava).

We didn't do much except laze around on the beach (when it was sunny) or at the villa (when not) or explore the island in what Mlle sooned claimed as "Georgia's car".

Shopping at the local market:

Here's Georgia's car. You should have seen her face when papa took the roof off! Now she wants us to take the roof off the mazda at home too:

Here's bunny flying in the howling wind (it was very windy a few of the days, and gale force straight off the sea this day):

On the farm

Here's Georgia at the farm. First thing is to test the boots:



Then striding on out to feed the animals




This is better than a pushchair:


Helping Sue shut the gate:


And talking to the neighbour about beef prices, the exchange rate and those damn townies:

Little photographer

Mlle has been playing with the camera. This is the view of the world as she sees it.

A weekend on the farm

Georgia had a night at the farm while Mummy and Papa went to a show and ... wait for it ... a pub!!





And here is the first ever photo taken by Georgia:

Bedtime for dolly

Wet weekends

We've had a few wet weekends lately and have been scrambling around for things to keep Mlle (and Papa) from getting cabin fever. First we went to Kelly Tarlton's where she was more interested in the snowmobiles than the fish:



We went swimming this Saturday morning; after half an hour, I think she was a little bit walloped:


At Sofia's birthday party:


And in Fran's new cardigan:
