Karori Friends at Tablelands

We loved having some of our Karori friends join us at the farm for the last weekend of the school holidays before we were all back to reality! We also threw in a small celebration of Dugald's birthday. 

The kids minus Ellie

And the grown ups

Fun on the lawn despite the drizzle.

Another rousing game of "name in the hat".

Team 2

Team 3

Birthday time!

Breakfast chefs

We meet Bonnie!!

Chloe heard we were expecting guests. . .

First Tom showed up - notice Meggie lovingly giving me the finger in this pic.

So I take another one and they ALL give me the finger. Nice.

Chloe meets Bonnie

Hamish and Wills arrived together on their way to deliver Bonnie to Kate and Ant in Auckland.

Family Time - just before our guests returned, after dropping Josie back to us, because the Rimataka Rd was closed!

Making the best of an unexpected situation - a late night game of "Who's in the Bag?" with the Goulds. Team One.

Team Two.

Early the next morning Meggie and I were off to the train station to pick up Hannah, Caroline and Harriett. They settled in and then played a game of Kubb on the lawn.

While we were in the Wairarapa we went to watch Katie and Emily in a hockey tournament. 

Josie's friend Sylvie came for a few days.

I let the girls put in the final pieces of MY puzzle!
