in vino veritas - observations through the bottom of a bottle

So - how did we spend our holidays?

A lovely few days in Otaki at the bach - beach, factory outlet shops, no tv, good op shops - heaven on the Kapiti coast really...

I seem to take a lot of pictures of shells and stones on the beach...so here's another

Here is the bach. The family are toasting marshmallows in the chiminea. Charlie has just burned himself on 800 degrees C marshmallow.

The holiday was full of surprises - like the boys offering to do the dishes - two nights in a row!

We were there for Fiona's 40th - further pictures Fionas facebook

A day at the races

Now to other news - we rushed home for the Farmers' Market - the reborn Napier one on Saturday mornings in Clive Square

There are good things to eat

Strange fruit in the trees

See no chips, speak no chips, hear no chips?

That's all - I'm supposed to be working

Happy January all
