going, going, (nearly) gone !



This was taken yesterday, but we have had another very sunny day today and nearly all of the snow has disappeared.... That's it for this winter I guess !! Hopefully the ski fields will have managed to retain more of the snow than we have !


Rosey, that naughty puppy has got you around her little finger !!! Enjoy !


The Hong Hong family get airborne tonight . I hope they have a good journey and manage some sleep. The other family take the ferry back to the bottom of the Nth Island this evening and then drive a wee way out of Wellington before taking a motel for the night. Hopefully they won't be too exhausted when they finally make it home tomorrow....


We enjoyed our two days of being confined to the property.(how would we cope in parts of America and Canada in the winter time !) Adventurous neighbours came visiting on both days which we all enjoyed. They work in town(but took the day off because of the ice on the roads) and don't have the time to be neighbourly very often.


I also made inroads into a very good book by Doris Lessing (African laughter) It records her impressions of Zimbabwe (where she grew up) on four visits over a number of years...


Hope the week is going well.
