Life is a BEACH sometimes .. . . .. .

This is another day at another glorious beach-Goughs Bay which is about 1/2 an hour away from our lovely beach. The only down side is the trip through what seems like a gizzilion gates through a farmers land to get there but the fantastic upside is that you have the whole beach to yourselves-and sometimes a seal or 2! Jonny has renewed his love of surfing so i foresee a whole lot more time spent at beaches this summer so im not complaining about that at all-may even have to don a wetsuit myself and have a go!!!

Life is a BEACH sometimes .. . . .. .

This is me and Willow at le Bons Bay beach-the weather has been amazing and we couldn't resist a trip to the beach when Willow was home sick from school last week.

STAIRS

we had a few of the cousins round yesterday for lunch and Willow was home from school due to her cast being removed(finally) the day before-zoe was here as well which was quite well planned on the girls behalf!!-anyway I think they played all day on the stairs they had a great game set up with their Sylvanian families and hopefully from the photos you can see all the pulley systems and other mechanisms they had set up ahhhhhh the simple things in life . . . . . . .

finally back on blog

Have not been on here for a very very long time it seems. . . . . . . . . .Here is some photos of our summer holiday up in Golden Bay

willows washing. . . .

Willow spent most of Saturday afternoon playing Mum to her doll Calypso, she diligently hand washed her "babies" clothes and then decided she needed to also make a clothes line complete with pulley system for lifting it up and down! Calypso also got her bed changed and re made.
