Today in 'N'

Yesterday we painted eggs for Easter- the latest craft club thing. 16 in total - all very different and beautiful. Some had an Alice in Wonderland theme because our friend Duncan was reading it out to us as we painted. We painted from 10 am to 4 pm it was so much fun! And we ate home made hot cross buns and drank home made grape juice. YUM! Last week it was Finn's fishing birthday party. Finn caught one quite small snapper that had to go back, and we saw a shag catch a puffer fish. And that was it! No fish to be had. Finn is sailing all Easter weekend in the Scouting Regatta. The rest of us are being relaxed and creative and intermittently active. This morning we set up an orienteering course at Tahuna beach as a vehicle for finding Easter eggs. The weather is still so warm there may be one last swim this weekend as well. As far as we are concerned Summer's sister Autumn is very warm and friendly. Arohanui big time XXX
