winters last blast

stunning sunset !!!!

Hailstones the size of small marbles......

 

swirly clouds over Kapiti Island

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.

What a sad day

Just heard the news about Amy Winehouse such a waste of a young life.  She was so talented but just not strong enough to deal with all the pressures that go with the celebrity lifestyle.  Condolences to her family RIP

7 months on in our cafe and all is going well

Well we have now been in New Zealand 9 months and have had our wee cafe for just over 7 1/2 months.  We are so pleased at how it is going and have some lovely customers.  As you can see from photos below I am busy every morning making scones, muffins, cakes and slices. 

I make all these scones, muffins and cakes daily so it is an early start for us.  Paul is very good at the chatting bit but anyone who knows him this is no surprise.

Busy friday nice to hear all the chatter and laughter.

Look at what is left after the customers have left not much makes my heart glad that I didn`t waste my time this morning

Well someone has to clean up.................................

Awwwww so cute made these for one of our customers who is going to be a grandma for the first time so pretty....................................

stunning sunset

just loving the view........
