January & February (to be precise)



We hadn't long been home from our holiday in Christchurch when Raewyn (my sister) & Graham, etc stopped in on their way back to Auckland. A cuppa (real coffee, not instant), some chitchat and a couple of photos later they were on their way.

The summer holidays came and went (not much of a summer at that, twice as much rain as usual and not nearly enough sun) and the kids were back to school, Rebecca starting at Tawa College.

The next event on our annual calendar is Rebecca's birthday. On this occasion she spent a couple of hours with some friends at the rock climbing centre before coming home for food and further entertainment.
