Day off

This morning was cold and overcast with the feeling of impending rain, so I packed the water and raincoats and headed for the hills. As you can see, we reached the top with barely a drop. The snow covered mountains in the distance reinforced the icy elements of winter. Zac and Karli loved it. Having all this within walking distance of the front door step allows me to attend to other things on my day off too...starting with "the list".

Getting on with posts

I can't believe how long it is since my last post. It's really about photo downloads. No photos, no post. If I could get into a better routine you could really see what we're up to here in NZ. As you can gather, the veggie garden has finally materialized. So far there are broad-beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, silver beet and fennel. Only 10 weeks to go until we can eat something, that is if the slugs and snails keep away. Since the photo, I have fenced it off so the pooches keep out. That was last weekend.
