Shooting the hoop

Sometimes after an urchin has cooked dinner, he pops out to shoots some hoops. Not sure if the redband gumboots and apron will start a fashion trend.

While the urchins were shooting hoops, a rainbow was in the clouds.

Hockey

Fortunate that Tighe can play hockey this year, despite the Covid-19 pandemic.  

Crowd size is limited to 100, and we socially distance between the other supporters.

Tighe has fantastic skills, and I always marvel at his tackling technique.

Christmas 2019

 Tithe's glass zebra decoration.

 My favourite bird decoration.

Two christmas trees, presents under the tree in the lounge, chocolate fondue under the one in the dining room.

The candles kept the chocolate melted and ready for the dipping.

 Strawberries, grapes, bacon, nuts, dried fruit.

 How fast can an urchin unwrap a gift?

Lake Okataina

 The weather has been glorious this summer, so for a change from Okereka, we took the longer drive to Lake Okataina

 All the rain prior to Christmas has filled the lakes to the brim.

 The urchins loved that the jetty was under water.
