Merry Christmas from New Zealand

We have now been in our wee cafe for 7 weeks now and I can`t believe how quickly it has passed.  We have loads of lovely customers and are starting to settle down a wee bit.  Been making lots and lots of scones so am getting to be a bit of an expert, also loads of cakes and biscuits.

Still trying to get our head around xmas in the sun,  Loving walking along the beach after work, planning on having a very quiet christmas as we have been very busy in the cafe.  Found time to have a wee walk along the beach on christmas Eve.........

Merry Christmas from New Zealand

Missing satsumas from home I used to eat them by the packet but found the next best things the cherries are so delicious here and I love the packaging on these ones.

Have a safe and happy christmas xxxx

A wee bit of crochet to finish off with my crochet christmas tree from royal sisters pattern just a shame that the background is so bleak

My hubbie digging over the veggie patch,  I am hoping to have a good crop of potatoes, carrots, swede and butternut squash.  I have also planted green beans, lettuce, peppers and a load of herbs..........

WIP nearly finished

Nearly finished with my blanket that has kept me sane during the last couple of weeks.  I started it before we left the UK 6 weeks ago, looks lovely on the back of my sofa.

I am hoping that this is going to be a cover for my bed finding it hard going though a wee bit fiddly but worth the effort.

falling in love with the coast

Oh I just love living beside the sea the sound of the waves crashing, going for walks on the beach and feeling the sand between my toes.  Watching the sunset just makes my day.............

we have got a car.......

We have bought a car, so seeing much more of this lovely country also very handy for the shopping...........
