Robert's Birthday

18th April

Two birthdays today.

We visited Charlotte in the morning to wish her a happy 5th birthday. She was in great spirits - greeting us in her Spider-woman's outfit, before returning to help her dad cook hotcakes for everyone.

Robert, too, celebrated his birthday today. He brought Stacey and Caleb around on Sunday to help celebrate. David's photos are so much better than mine. http://www.davidstgeorge.blogspot.com/

Trip to Warkworth

Wednesday 15th April


Doug had a painting to deliver in the city, so it seemed like a good reason to pack a picnic, and set off on a wee trip. We found a nice beach at Devonport where we munched our filled rolls, then drove on further to go on the toll road and through the tunnels. (I hadn't been through them before.)



We passed under this rather neat bridge as we approached.





I decided to photograph the

cameras that were photographing us.
Soon we were through the tunnel and out the other side.





We enjoyed a wander around Warkworth before returning home.

Airplane Spotting - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

We set out with aircraft arrival schedules and impressive lenses to catch the big one. Very impressive it was too! My 'snapper' camera doesn't really do it credit.

Lunch with Robert and Caleb

It was good to catch up with Robert and Caleb for lunch today. Caleb has just recovered from chicken pox and now Stacey has them.
