Still on New Zealand
Queenstown didn't disappoint with majestic views
the view from my bed
from the front veranda
off to the side
We had New Years Eve in Queenstown...
this was the start with cocktails...
and shooter to end the evening...and yes we did see the New Year in...
A gondola ride to the very top and this wasn't the highest mountain by far...
The garden did its usual and produce a heap once again...
I tried my had at Semi Sun-dried Tomatoes...
and gee they are yummo...
There has been chillies dried and pickled, tomato sauce, pickles, marmalade and olives...
our mandarins are HUGE...
There have been some birthdays... the grandies decorated Uncle Liam's cake... master turning five wanted a ''black inside, white on top and shaped like a number five... Oh and 5 candles"... hahaha... master turning three "I just want chocolate cake Yaya"... showed him shapes, letters, animals "no Yaya, just chocolate"... showed him one with machinery "yes Yaya, that one. Just chocolate cake"...
Our helpers with Winter planting...
and
some sewing...
we needed another stocking for the newest member of the family..
and a family member had a little girl...
bit of a chance for me hahaha
