August

Hello everyone!

This is me and the Poss way back in August. As you can tell, conditions were arctic.

And here's me and Dadda on his 36th birthday.

A very morning sick Mumma!

We celebrated Dad's birthday with hats...

... and a homemade dinosaur cake!

 Then we went to the Wairarapa to say goodbye to Great Grandpa John, which was very sad. 

It was special to have Issy and our brand new cousin Teddy there with us. 

Poss is particularly fond of little Ted!

And again.

After the funeral, we stayed with Ganny in Masterton. 

Her park has an amazing flying fox which I was rather keen on.

Even Poss had a go.

Then it was off to see Grumpa in Martinborough.

 We spent our time riding the tractor...

... feeding the dogs...

... running round the pool...

...riding our bikes...

 ... chatting to the locals....

 ... and making the most of the town's cafe culture.

 We played with Grumpa's old black dog Luger...

 ... and with Grumpa too.

Martinborough has a lovely town square...

 
... and a fantastic playground too!

 

 On our way home to Auckland we stayed the night at Ginny's house in Hatepe.... thank you Ginny!

Here is Possum in front of the Marae.

 ... and us walking down to the Lake.

 Stay tuned for another blog entry all about our South Island holiday in September!
