Back home again in time for my Birthday and a few pics through August and September




Opening my Birthday present from Jess and Steve:-) She cooked us a lovely dinner too:-)



Anne and Frank came up for a few days after we got home
We took Anne in to see Wynyard Quarter
The Cloud is in the background
Having a yummy lunch at the Fish Market with Jess
We got this photo at Cornwell Park of the Poppies:-)

Fathers day, opening a card from Roxy

This was his Fathers Day present:-) thought it was most appropriate given that they are some of his frequently used quotes:-)

Louise got this frame for me so I had to fill it with the Grandie photos

We had to shift the enjoy sign to the Kitchen

I've loved the colour of the new vibrant Clivia's in my garden :-)
I've done a few up-dates in the bedrooms, so took some updated photos. Obviously this is my 'Pretty Room'
I finally found some cushions the right shade for our room:-)

The blue Room

Our downstairs room got a fresh coat of paint from my darling husband and a new accent colour:-) Just have to get a new picture and then it'll be set :-)

I made this delicious new meringue recipe the other day that had raspberries, chocolate and pistachios nuts in them:-) They were pretty delicious



I picked these beautiful Camellia's out of my garden

We went around to Liz and Altie's to celebrate his Birthday:-) This was a chocolate cake that Liz had iced with his favourite icing! Pecans, Evaporated Milk, Coconut, Sugar and Egg Yoke. It was most delicious:-)  

Brandon's 29th Birthday Dinner

It was most delicious
Junia and Rob have shifted into Sir Edmond Hillary Retirement Village. Junia's apartment is on the 2nd to top level, the 2nd 1 in:-) There's a little golf course in front of her apartment, else where there's lovely gardens:-)
