Friday 11th January
Ross & Andrea took Shoshannah out to catch the bus.
They left at 8am in their wee cube - apparently the 'radio' in the backseat kept them entertained for most of the 2 hour journey
She was heading down to Waipara for camp.
Katherine hopped on the bus in Nelson so they met at Rai and traveled together.
When I walked back down to the house this bush was swarming with bees and other insects.
They were busy buzzy, feeding on the flowers
They were so busy it was hard to capture them, but I did manage to catch 2 honey bees and a bumble bee all feeding on this flower at the same time.
The lavatera makes a lovely foreground looking past the house over the bay
Tim came in a bit later and gave me this cute wee rose.
He often brings me in a flower - an affectionate gesture from the man I have loved for over 40 years
My beautiful new kitchen bench.
Just love it!!
Also love this tiled feature Cat built for me at the end of the bench using tiles my aunt Anneke made and gave to me last year.
Mahalia made herself a sandwich for lunch
Ran down to the mailboat with Mahalia to chat with Jim.
Spent the arvo opening mail and reading newspapers.
Then did some art - continuing on with my Whimsey's from the Art Heart & Healing course while I wait to download the LifeBook 2013 updates when I am next in town.
Inbar & Aviv went for a long walk up to the top of Crichtons Hill - the highest point on the farm.
Anson, Seb & Nick went out fishing till late.
Bri & Abby zipped over to have dinner with Phoebe.
Leann made a venison hock casserole in the slow cooker for dinner.
Shoshannah was texting me throughout the day to let me know they had arrived safely at their destination.
They went for a swim in water hole near the river and then had a slumber party on the trampoline with another friend Claire.
Nice she can get away and have fun with her friends in a safe environment.
