The rest are from this morning - Spring has finally come and we are just having our first BBQ of the season! http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=934350 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=746202 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT Neilther Jayne or I like rose bushes, so the twenty or so in the front garden were always on borrowed time! A friend took quite a few of them off us, so they didn't all go to be made into mulch. The grass you see below is only 7 days after sowing! Wow - things grow fast here! Unfortunately, that is trye for the weeds as well, so ground coverage and mulch is essential! The snails - couldn't resist taking a pic of them LOL LOL Neil http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=688588 Sun, 29 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT At last the house is mostly unpacked and we are in a state that I can walk around and take a few photos for everyone to see :-> :-> These only took me 10 mins to take, so no masterpieces ;-) Enjoy! Neil & Jayne http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=655308 Sat, 24 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT Jayne and I had a great afternoon at the One Day yesterday. Unfortunately, NZ lost, but a good experience for us to know what you can and can't take into Eden Park and where the best seats are to catch the sun :-D http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=635723 Sat, 03 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT Just a few snaps from my phone - so not great quality. A great atmosphere again at Eden Park. We were a bit shocked when going into the gate that the whole section seemed full of Aussie fans - but when we got to our seats, it was actually a block of AB fans, so no problem! ABs 34 Wallabies 24 http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=544394 Sat, 03 Sep 2005 00:00:00 GMT Thanks to a great recommendation, we jumped on the ferry to Rangitoto at lunchtime on Sunday. 10 mins to Devonport and then 10mins across to Rangitoto. Not being the fittest person, I was a bit apprehensive, as it does lokk a long treck up to the summit. I had top stop quite often to get my breath back, but after a few very steep stages, we finally got to the top! Amazing views and a sense of achievement for me! We both said we would take a full day next time and bring a small picnic with us. You can also take several routes back down, so some options to fill out the day! :-> http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=537327 Sun, 28 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT We always visit the zoo when visiting a city - never did when on holiday here, so finally decided to drive out West to take a look around. Not the biggest zoo we've been to, but still really interesting. We'd seen the Red Panda before at Wellington zoo a few years ago and they are so cute :-) The otters were also cute, but the enclosure was too close to the general public for our liking and there was some STUPID guy trying to wind them up - why do people do that? http://neilw1971.fotopages.com/?entry=537329 Sat, 27 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT
