More Farm Pictures

So I've decided to go way back and upload some pictures from Tablelands, which is what we call Rob and Liz's farm in Martinborough. I have to also confess that I didn't take any of these amazing photographs, Sarah did! You will notice the reduced quality of the images that are posted once she leaves, but for now we have some fantastic shots to share with you - hope you enjoy them!



This is Hettie, she belongs to Rob and Liz and is almost 14 which is great news for us because that is babysitting age!!! She goes to school very near where we live so we are hoping to have the pleasure of her company and help on some days after school once Sarah leaves. The girls think all their cousins are marvelous but Hettie was extra-fantastic because she played Barbies with them, whoo hoo!



Here is Meggie helping to make the bread for Margaret's birthday lunch. She helped mix, knead, and glaze the bread and it was absolutely delicious!

Hugh took over the barbeque responsibility with some of his mates watching in the background. The sausages were also perfectly done so obviously the next generation has this cooking thing down and the rest of us can just kick back and relax.

Daddy and Josie were a team for the three-legged race. . .

As were cousin Alex and Katie. I was teamed up with Meg but have decided the photos are us are not so flattering, let's just say Meggie looked good.

Dugald with his mom, dad and brother Rob.

The family eating at the table set up outside because the weather was perfect.

Ellie probably won't be thrilled about this photo when we show it at her wedding, but really, how cute is this?

The cottage where Grandma and Grandpa stay has an outdoor bath so the girls decided they would give it a go - except for sweet Katie who sadly was sick when these pictures were taken.

A bath with a view - isn't it beautiful???

Liz keeps a large organic vegetable garden so we went nightly and picked fruit and vegetables for our meal. Here is Meggie with some strawberries she picked.

Josie getting the carrots.

She was very serious about the whole operation - and you have never tasted sweeter carrots in your life, yum!
