Having paid the bill, we were getting ready to leave the supermarket, … Him pushing the trolley of goodies for our weekend away… Me folding up the receipt into my pocket and putting cards away… Suddenly I dived off yelling that I would catch him up.

Kindness Just Blew In

Strong winds, rain and more wind… But we went away anyway. Eager as a beaver we were down to the beach with the dog leading the way, excitement oozing out of her. Zipping the jacket right up to the chin, we braced ourselves against the elements and off we went. It was easy one way, […]

Touches of Rosemary

When your 24 year old son offers to cook you a roast, you accept. All afternoon we had been smelling those scrumptious odours…tantalizing! He even made the gravy himself using all the juices from the bottom of the pan…Mama taught him good! The call went out that dinner was ready and we were all scurrying […]

Painted Toes

Everywhere around about the South Waikato region there are large areas of Pine being harvested. The land is then cleared with roots and scrub being swept into piles and burnt off before being replanted or turned into lush dairy farms. I don’t know much about the harvesting of Pine trees, but it must be in […]
