the week that was

I have enjoyed duty on the 'lake front'. This week we discussed how the many honey bees on the clover turn the pollen into honey for our toast
I really really enjoyed a Jimmy's mince & cheese pie straight from Jimmy's in Roxburgh
Spent a couple of nights at the beach house while others looked after my kids so I could support Jase with some minor surgery
Got some strawberries from my fave little fruit store just out of Roxburgh - actually, I quite like Roxburgh, my fave second hand shop is there too!
Hosted a birthday party for 9 x 9 - 11 year olds - a camp out, they loved watching Jase make pizza

This week is looking just as busy. Hope I can take lots of photos along the way to 'trap' what was going on, quite easy when I can just use the phone.

Yummy! Jimmy's mince and cheese pies fresh from the shop are the best! Looking forward to popping in there next Friday on my way thru to Central for the holidays!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
