Sunday.

So good to hear your news Bee, you are very fortunate to have family around you to support you at this time. I hope that your DH will be home this week and that your dog will make room for him in your bed !. Loved the comments about the ear licking !!!

Cooler weather down here today. Not quite "panti hose" weather, but not far off !! I just love the easy dressing of summer. Shorts and a T-shirt and you're ready to go..

It's not even Easter yet and we have already made our bookings to H.K. for Christmas.. (DD#1 is living there) Seems ridiculous doesn't it ? We won't have to pay until October but, this way we won't be liable to price increases... That's the theory anyway... This is a big deal for our family. DD#2 and family also will try to be there (with some considerable financial help !) If we manage it, it will be the first time that the two girls and their families will have been together for seven years.. Too long. DD#1 and her youngest child, have been over to NZ. several times, during those years, but not the other three, because of schooling schedules. It will be lovely to see them all together. By Christmas time we will have two 15 yr.olds, two 13 yr olds, two 11yr olds and one seven yr old.... interesting ages !?!

A friend and I had a treat this week. A Tea-House has recently opened in one of our smartest stores. We went along to investigate. We were treated like royalty, shown to our seats, offered a menu (of different teas !) and advised as to what delicate refreshment to have with what tea. White , green or black....we were even told what time of the day the leaves were picked for each tea, at what height the tea grew and the difference that made to the colour and flavour... I'll never use a tea-bag again !!!! Just for your interest, I had a smoked salmon sandwich with a white tea (served in a covered cup but drunk out of a bowl ) A lovely experience and all for under ten (NZ) dollars !!

Have a good week, xtra hug for Bee.

Marion.
