Aunt Mary's visit in October

We are enjoying our long summer holidays (school doesn't go back until the 7th February) so I have time to catch up with lots of things including this blog site!

Last October, Tom's Aunt Mary from Edinburgh paid us a visit. She was on a cruise with the Holland America Line which started in Auckland, cruised around NZ then over to Tasmania, Melsbourne and finally Sydney. The ship was docking in Picton for a day which is about 2 hours drive from here but what Aunt Mary decided to do was leave the ship in Wellington the day before it was due in Picton, and fly over here to Nelson, stay the night with us, then we would take her back to the ship the next day.

Tom and I had both arranged to take the day off work and the boys stayed off school. We had a lovely time although the weather was a bit chilly. We took Aunt Mary to the Gardens of the World near Richmond then headed back to Picton on the scenic route via the Nelson Lakes.

It was lovely having some time with Aunt Mary and catching up with some of the family news.
