BBQ

Well we went to the sales today, some places were very quiet and others you couldn't even park within 5 minutes of the shops!

We have finally managed to buy a BBQ, and here it is.

Now we are looking forward to the weather staying good (it has been very hot today) so that we can start cooking some nice food on it.

Christmas Day

After our trip to Takapuna, we headed off down to Bayswater to see Paul, Georgina, Lauren and Mollie for a BBQ.

When we'd finished to the first session of BBQing and the odd toast with Lindauer Fraise, we headed off to their local beach, sort of...
















We wandered out across the mud flats, getting very very muddy in the process and almost losing several shoes!

We then headed back for some more BBQ and a glass or two of wine. We all had a very good day.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Day started with the traditional breakfast of leeks and bacon.


After breakfast we went to Takapuna, to take some pictures of the pohutakawa trees in bloom, but found a 15 min play about to start on the grass near the beach.



It was a one man performance starring an actor from Neighbours!!!



We then managed to take a few pictures of the pohutakawa (New Zealand's Christmas tree), which are really starting to bloom now.



And finally we took some pictures of us on the beach on Christmas Day...

New House

Hello All,

Well we finally found a place to live, on the North Shore of Auckland in Torbay.


Here are some pictures of the house.












We'll add more as we go, hopefully some of a nice sunny BBQ on Christmas day!
