Fireworks on the Beach

Saturday was a fairly liesurely day just relaxing. It was good not to have to get up early to get the Kiwi bus for once and even better to get tea in bed – thank you Leigh!

Dan was have a few computer software problems so Leigh went into town to the computer store to see if she could get them sorted. I went along as well to do a bit of shopping ready for the next leg of my adventure…. some pasta, shower gel, muesli and some cash, basically.

Later we took Sally for a walk up to the Botanical Gardens, just a stone’s throw from the house. Although most of the Camellias had gone over, the Rhodies were in their prime and the colours were just stunning.

Just on the bank I spied some Lily of the Valley and thought of Mum who passed away over 5 years ago.

The rhododendrons appeared to be in competition against each other for size and colour…..

That’s probably enough to give you an idea!

Leigh poured a refreshing sparkling Feijoa and Pear drink when we returned from the Botanical Gardens.

After dinner in the evening, we popped down to the Lake to watch Buzz setting off a few fireworks for the Kiwi bus group.

Then while the gang went over to Mulligan’s to continue drinking, Leigh and I enjoyed a coffee liqueur back home in comfort… the last bit of comfort I shall see for a while I fear 🙂
