All the Things

 Just a few snippets to pop on here from the past few weeks as the end of the month rolls around again and we head into the last few weeks of the year. 

 All the roses in our garden have been blooming and this is one of my newer ones, Freesia, it smells divine

                                         

We are so proud of Hannah. This year, as well as all her regular dance classes, she joined the Jump Jam dancing club at her school and her team was picked to compete in the Nationals competition held in Tauranga recently. The girls did so well, gaining lots of merit certificates in their division, and also had a blast performing.

We are also very proud of my niece Zoe and her boyfriend Dylan as they have just purchased their first home!  Very excited for these two! The house is in Napier and they have lots of renovations planned for the next few months.

It was the annual A & P show recently and Hannah and I spent a few hours there, in the hot sunshine, enjoying the side shows, rides, watching the horse jumping and checking out a few trade exhibits. It's always a great day out.

Quite a few of our weekends lately has been taken up by giving our outside deck area a much needed overhaul and we've also replaced spouting around the whole house.  The deck has had a new roof, two new windows and patio blinds installed. 

Glenn made this stunning table top and chairs over the winter months, haven't they turned out fab !! This spot has already been well used for evening meals, and coffee breaks on the weekend.

We've had some spectacular sunsets too, and lots of rain some days. I think we've had more rain this spring then we did all winter!

Have a happy week friends!

See you soon x
