Our Beautiful Magnolia in full Bloom

We went down to Christchurch for my birthday to be with Jess and Steve. We met up with Caroline for a most delightful lunch at The Colombo Mall

We had to sample a variety of treats:-)

We finished off the day with Jess and Steve out for a delicious dinner

Mid Winter at our beach

Lew and Junia ticked Barramundi Fishing off Junia's Bucket List

1st catch brought a big smile

Their camp

That's a photo of a happy fisherman:-)

The biggest catch of the trip:-)

They dined on sea food:-) These were the Mud Crabs

Chilled Mud Crabs 

Looks like Junia's enjoying it:-)

The Kookaburra's were also used to dining:-)

We went to visit Polly after Brian passed away, she had made 1 of her amazing sponges and some delicious date scones

Rob passed away peacefully on the 19th July. Junia had him at home until the funeral which was special.

I think this is the last lovely photo taken of Rob and Junia together in the latter part of last year

Sunday Lunch together at 1 of Rob and Junia's favourite restaurant's:-)

The Grand kids missing Roxy and Samantha sadly

On the way to the funeral, the boys thought it was a fitting car for Rob to have his last ride in:-)


The Orchids came from Boundary Waters which made it beautiful and special

This was 1 of the lovely bunches of flowers sent:-)

We went up to visit Steve and Coral in their lovely new home

It was nearly a little too nippy but fun:-)

On their beach

We went for a drive to Puhoi and had lunch at the Puhoi Cheese Factory
