A Royal Meeting

Harry and Meghan were visiting Rotorua today. Mya and I decided to go to the Government Gardens for their official walk-about. 

Whilst we were waiting we were interviewed by local radio, The Hits FM. Then we were so lucky to meet and chat with both Harry and Meghan. Mya gave her a picture she’d drawn of a Kiwi and I wished her congratulation on her expected baby. Such a lovely genuine couple.

New Curtains

Bought them months ago and had to wait to put them up because of the kitchen renovations. We don’t have very many curtains in our house but I just love them. Makes the room feel so much more cosy and homely.

Resort Location?

No.... just the view from the balcony of our bedroom. Feeling very lucky of where we live. 



A Quick Break from the Spring Cleaning

Not a bad view whilst cleaning down the balcony railings. 




Plumbing

John has been playing the ‘connecting the pipes’ game for the last 6 hours. 






Got there in the end.  John’s not going to be a Plumber in his next career!
