1 year on.........................

Glasgow Airport saying goodbye to my sister and brother was extremely hard lots of tears in the airport that day.
We stopped off in Dubai and can`t believe this was the only photo I took...........
In the air passing over the Seychelles most amazing thing I have ever seen just stunning.....

              Arriving at Auckland Airport a wee bit blurry just how we
                                                      were feeling after a 30 hour flight.


Look at the colour of that sky..........Looking up at the sky tower in Auckland.  We were`nt brave enough to jump or to walk around the top.......
sightseeing in Auckland still a bit jet-lagged

Missing my comfortable couch........

A short stay in wellington before moving to Kapiti coast

Raumati Beach main street
Christmas 2010 at the beach weird just weird. 
Can`t believe it has passed so quickly.
           seen lots of these
 I made a few blankets in preparation for winter.

We have been so lucky to have found a cafe that has worked out really well for us I still miss my home country but glad I have had the opportunity to live here.  Our Cafe is still doing well, survived a winter where it snowed on the coast for the first time in 30 years.  It is now spring and the Rugby World Cup is about to begin I will be supporting Scotland and( you never know........)Soon be summer another year with Christmas in the sun ( I will never get used to that).

New Cushion


How my cushion should have looked..............................

My version of the cushion I am really pleased with it the photo doesn`t do the colours justice.  I made 2 and both are now on the couch in my cafe.
