House Guests & Sunshine

What a beautiful Easter long weekend. We had many visitors this weekend. Beck (friday/saturday), Mike & Sylv' (Monday/tues), Caro & Jay (Monday) & A Chook (Thursday).
We had beautiful sunshine and got out and about to see more of this little part of the world we find ourselves in. We went to Trentham to red beards bakery and got our hot cross buns cooked in the scotch oven. We went to a little coolroom shop out the back of a house in Musk called istra for some beautiful small goods, and to cap it of we visited zig zag rd wines on the way home.
We had a lovely quiet couple of days in the garden which has been bathed in sunshine, beautiful warm days, but admittedly the nights are getting chilly. The garden is greening up thanks to a bit of rain a few weeks ago, although it wont be long until it needs it again.
Otis is growing so quickly, and is adorable. The country air seems to agree with him.
In fact I think its agreeing with us all. We all seem a little more relaxed.
The town certainly seems to have all we need, with one significant omission - the bottle shops are appalling. I can see a monthly trip to see Barry & Tim ( Carlton Cellars ) to get ourselves a mixed dozen.

Ahh, thanx for the plug guys.
Maybe there's a business opportunity for you, a decent wine merchant in Trentham !!

Great to see you guys living the country life so well.

Hope to see you soon maybe ...
