On the way to Hanmer Springs
Overlooking Christchurch at the top of the gondolaHi Everyone from a warm and sunny Christchurch! Sorry to mention the weather for those of you still suffering the rigours of winter but our days are definitely getting shorter so that means yours must be getting longer.
It has been a great fortnight having Jennie and John here for a visit. Not so good at the beginning as they arrived and their luggage didn't! Thanks Qantas. It had been left behind in Sydney and thankfully arrived the next day. Still, all they had the first night was the clothes they had travelled in, their hand luggage plus tee and shorts to sleep in courtesy of the airline. Thinking back three years, that was more than Katherine and family got when their luggage was left behind in Sydney, also by Qantas. A pattern beginning to emerge, would you say?
We had a lovely time - catching up on all the news, reminiscing - lots of chatting! We went to Sumner and Governors Bay, had "fush and chups" in Akaroa, of course visited the family and went to Hanmer Springs (rain and hot springs) and Kaikoura (sunshine and whales and dolphins). The time went too quickly and all too soon they were getting ready to fly to Australia for the rest of their trip. The house felt very empty without them!
Still, can't sit still as another trip planned for next month so, until then, take care all of you.
Love Carol xxx
