New Zealand part 1

Sorry to have been so hit and miss as a blogger this year, my bloging mojo has taken a nose dive and I'm still trying to catch up with my blog reading so I'm sorry if I've not been commenting much either.

However I'm determined to get going again so I've finally sorted through some of the New Zealand photo's to share.  These are from the first week of our holiday, which we spent at my sisters house in Wellington.  As a result this is a very photo heavy post.

About to board at Heathrow


One of the first stops was Te Papa, Museum of New Zealand as they had a dinosaur exhibit on that Christopher was desperate to see.

There is a lot of great street art round Wellington

These Takahe had a very good go at trying to nick our lunch!

The view over Wellington from the hills behind my sister's house

Of course no visit to Wellington would be complete without a trip to Nancys and a little stash enhancement.

Rosie came into Nancys with me and was very taken with a kit for felt finger puppets. She then spent her free time over the next couple of days sewing

Lovely to see Wellington through your eyes. I spent my teenage years there so know the City well and since then have deposited a few dollars at Nancy's!! Did Rosie enjoy her finished puppets?

Stunning photos from New Zealand. Thank you for sharing those.
Wonderful photos Karoline, so good to see your two little ones having such a great time.
It's an amazing country, so beautiful. Seeing Rosie working on the felt finger puppets was fun - could she be taking after her mum!!
