Another week!

Here we go again! Another whole week between posts! I do have an excuse though, my back took a backward step and hasn't been so good, and I had me an upset tummy, which meant there was no way I wasn't going anywhere near my Chiropractor. 

So, here I am, late again.

I promised pictures of our recent guests.

Janice and Mick are touring New Zealand and stopped in to see us.

We took them on a day trip around the interior of the South island.

We visited Tekapo, Twizel and all of the hydro electric dam system which provides power to a huge area of the country.

 Although it wasn't the best or warmest of days, the lakes put on a colourful show.

The clay cliffs were a stark contrast. Dry and barren.

 The obligatory photo!

Tony and Mick were trying to catch a less posed, more relaxed picture.

It was great to catch up with both of them, I did wonder how long it would be, before we got a chance to get together again. If you remember, they used to visit me regularly on the Isle of Man, when they visited for the Motorbike races.

Janice and I exchanged gifts, I'll share photos of those next time.

It was after our guests had left that things went downhill for me.

I wasn't so sore that I couldn't stitch though.

 Page one is now complete and I made a start on page two.

I was even able to stitch using some different colours.

You can't really see it this photo, but there is a pretty flower garland down on the bottom corner.

I have a play date with Debs this evening, we'll be working on our Christmas story quilts.

I'd better go tidy up this mess!

I'll try not to leave it so long.
