Before July runs away too ...

Just to keep up with some of the family who update more often (or have more time?)...
Winter arrived with a vengeance and it was nippy around the edges. This close snow soon disappeared though.

Dad and Dave cleaned out the old cow shed so feeding could be on the concrete instead of muddy paddocks, and the cows had somewhere to lay down on the dry.  Oscar was in his element and Dave was rather excited about his day..

Another quick trip to New Plymouth for Uncle George's funeral and visit with Mum & Dad and families.  Left Wellington just as the sun was rising over the harbour with the ferry coming in.

Mt Egmont looked stunning as usual coming up Raleigh Street.  Jannie took us out to lunch one day, found Waitara Beach cafe closed so went through to Inglewood for lunch.

Mum & Dad were feeling their age, and having a daughter of home probably didn't help!

Managed a quick visit to Auckland for cuddles on the way home and James was really happy saying goodbye!

It was good to have lunch at Dave & Staceys Sunday next day where Dad was happy to go and feed out afterwards while Dave found some bits to band on their newest addition while Stacey bottle fed.

Now I'd better endeavour to do a blog and pics about what we've been doing around the house in the past couple months!
