From Palmerston we headed to the Wairarapa to stay at Tablelands with Rob and Liz and family. It's always such a treat to stay there and very hard to leave, but this year we had New Year's Eve with friends in Waikanae to look forward to when we left. |
| In Martinborough on our way to the farm. |
 |
| Always a beautiful table. |
 |
| Exchanging presents with beautiful Alex and Hettie. |
 |
 |
| After dinner drinks in the library so the boys can check sports scores. |
 |
| A walk around the property to see all the changes. |
 |
| Taking a break up at Liz's yoga platform. |
 |
| The cottage where we stayed, gorgeous! |
 |
| Orchard and gardens. |
 |
| The girls picked fresh vegetables and then helped make a salad for dinner. |
 |
| Poor Meggie gets terrible hayfever so she hates this photo but I wanted to include it because she had her first glass of wine, a 1999 vintage! |
 |
| Rob and Liz took us on a somewhat challenging 8K walk, hot and hard work but the views were worth it! |
 |
| We started off festivities in Waikanae with a game of cricket. |
 |
| This little girl was enamored of Chloe so Pippa and Meggie kept an eye on things. |
 |
| The boys man the barbie in the rain. |
 |
| Almost midnight!! |
 |
| We had a great time - thanks Fleur and Richard for your hospitality! Lucky Monty surrounded by all these girls. |
