Annie- Off and Holly -No...

would make a good pair ! We wouldn't be without them though would we ?!?

We are safely home after our week in Auckland with the family. Miss "nearly 16yr old " had a lot to say for herself, mostly unpleasant and mostly directed at her long suffering mother (our daughter..) so that wasn't easy ! The boys were kicking balls or washing mud off themselves most of the time, so not a lot has changed up there since our last visit in March ! We were delayed at the airport on the way up, but got away eventually, our return flight was cancelled (because of the Chilean volcanic ash) and we returned a day later than planned. No real difficulties with any of that, but it did make us realise that we can't always be sure of time and place when dependant on airlines..

DD#1 and her family are planning to descend upon us in late July and August . Although DD gets down here quite often, the children haven't been for eight years so it will all be new for them. We are planning a week in Queenstown for some skiing. They have long school holidays in the UK summer, so are able to have some time in HK before and after their visit here.

Rosey, you are getting very clever with your photos on this page ! I am impressed with the smaller one of the young couple. They do make a good looking pair and they seem very easy with each other and with their roles. Lets hope that doesn't change.

I was amazed to hear about missing quilts. I would be devastated if I ever lost one, they are such personal creations. Hard to believe that you have only just missed that beautiful one in the photo Rosey. If I had made one like that I would have had it on display !

Cold foggy day here today. July is often our coldest month. It was sunny in Rangiora and it looks as if the sun would like to come out here. I hope it makes it, the cold seems easier to cope with when the sun is shining.

Hope the week goes well for everybody.
Marion.
