14/09/08

Another month has passed and again we are saying “Where did the time go?” Nelson has had a lot of rain but it is fine today. We had a team of school hockey players week before last and it rained every day they were here. Last week wasn’t much better so today we will get out for a walk. Last Sunday we went out for lunch with Doris and Ian. They live just over the road but we have to make a date to see each other. They are well and seem to be keeping busy with various activities. Gilbey has made himself some raised gardens and is going to grow some vegs this year. Things seem to be ok in Blenheim at the moment. I will go over for another visit soon. We are going to the wearable Arts in Wellington 26/09/08 so it will have to be after that. Other family member seem to be all well. In England our oldest grandaughter Gabi started school last Monday. She turns five next month. Malachy in Christchurch has learned to ride a little bike with training wheels and when you see grandma’s wall and fridge you can tell they are all working on their artistic skills.
