We are fortunate enough to have people living nearby who are growing these beautiful flowers for export. If there is the slightest thing wrong with the blooms they are bunched up and put at the gate for the locals to buy. What joy ! I love this coral pink one but the deep red and the white ones were equally lovely.

Summer officially started on Dec 1st. so we are looking forward to some more settled weather. We attended a "country wedding" at the w/end. The Bride is DH's God-daughter, the family were our neighbours in our farming days. It was a great get together for many old friends and we had a great time. The reception was amazing. Most of the food had been "harvested" by family members...Cray fish (like Lobster) from the sea, salmon from the rivers, pork and venison from wild pigs and deer , and lamb and beef from the farm... this surely is the land of plenty for some...

Christmas is getting closer and closer. I have dealt with all of the overseas mail and just have the local mail to deal with. I may not bother too much with decorating the house this year as we will be joining DD in Auckland for Christmas week. I expect I will put a few bits and pieces around, just to get "in the mood' , but there seems little point in getting all of the boxes down from the attic . It only seem five minutes since I put it all away !

Have a good day.

Marion.
