Heading up to higher ground .....

Last week, as most of you will know, following the Chilean Earthquake New Zealand was put under a Tsunami alert. No major repercussions but we had planned to head to Lyttelton Port for the Lyttelton festival ....... decided against it and instead I headed up the hill with Cameron and Ewan via the gondola. A well travelled route by us now but always a good one and on such a beautiful day stunning views ...... luckily not of a Tsunami and I managed to get some great shots of the boys.

Happy Birthday Ewan

On 20th February Ewan turned 4 ... so hard to believe especially as he was our first kiwi baby ... doesn't time fly eh ...

We had a lovely day starting off with the opening of presents. Thanks to everyone that sent cards and presents ... they were all very much appreciated :o)

That afternoon Ewan had his birthday party with some of his friends coming round for a party. Lots of fun and laughter and of course the obligatory chocolate cake ......

14th February

There was a pipe band competition and fayre on the 14th February at Riccarton House. Alongside the pipebands there were lots of old cars and bikes and people dressed up in clothes from days gone by. We finished off with a walk around the Riccarton Bush .... a really lovely afternoon.
