7-9 May. Auckland Trip.

We have just returned from a very busy and enjoyable weekend trip to Auckland to visit our son who lives there, celebrate his birthday which falls this week and also Mothers Day. Although the weather was perfect I didn't take very many photos. The first is at the vineyard where we had lunch on Saturday, up the coast near Matakana. The second is a very early morning shot out the window of our apartment in the city and the third is a beach on Waiheke Island. The day out, plus a bus tour around the island was my Mother's day gift.

6 May. Panda.

Sitting all alone in the spare bedroom , waiting for someone to come and play.

5 May. Autumn Fun

The weather was not great today, but we did take advantage of a little walk outside to look at the leaves. This is the resulting followup activity.

4 May. Autumn Berries

These berries add a touch of colour to a dull Autumn day.

3 May Term 2 Has Begun.

We are now on day two of Term 2 and the morning has dawned with light rain. This is a view of the panels above the front entry to our school.

2 May . Cross Stitch

When reading Allanah's blog posting about her beautiful sampler( 120 / 365 ) it reminded me to hunt out a piece I completed a few years ago when priorities were different and life ran at a less rapid pace.

1 May. More Knitting.

Two more items for my wee Grandaughter and I have started another one.
