Blossom, Cupcakes and Cygnets!

I got a bit carried away with trying to get a few photos of the blossoms on our apple trees!


hopefully we might get lots of apples! yum!

M and his Auntie had loads of fun making and decorating...(ooops forgot the eating!!) these over the weekend

and this wee beastie is doing great! he/she is quite keen on the odd swim in our friends pond chasing tadpoles!!

Our thoughts are with the family who lost a family member out whitebaiting on sunday.Hopefully he will be found soon.

The beginning!

R. drove to Harihari earlier this week to collect this wee piece....hopefully it will become a talking point like our last gorgeous one...may it rest in peace!...it took approx 10 persons to lift it off the trailer!!!  I don't think it will be moving far!


We have been helping to look after this wee babe this week while its adoptive parent was out of town. It is rather cute and likes going for walks!...hopefully it will be able to be rehabilitated into the wild soonish!


....lastly these Chatham Island forgetmenots are looking amazing in the garden this year!
have a great week!
