Fairies in the Garden

It would appear that we've been visited by Good Fairies.

The other day i was walking past Gnomeland and saw that a gnome had fallen over - again! When i picked him up, i thought, 'Hello, I don't remember you.' Then i thought, 'Yes i do, i think. There's something different though?'

I put him down & carried on to what i was doing, i was busy.

Today, walking past again, i spotted the Rolling Gnomes and - hello! They look completely different! Obviously, some Good Fairies have been coming around and repainting the gnomes - they look great!

Maybe i should leave out a saucer of milk or something?

cheers

Reefton Girls

These delightful young ladies are Astley Clough and Caitlin & Tiffany Hampton and they came to visit us on Thursday.

They are making a scale model of their school - Reefton Area School - which is to be used as a map for directing visitors around. They think they're stuck, I disagree, I think that they're doing great - a lot of work done so far, just finishing touches needed now.

Hopefully, they will have some new ideas now.

A Cousin Of Mine

Our kids have gone home, but it's still school holidays, so we're still getting visitors.

Today there were people from Christchurch, the Maldives and Hamilton and from Reefton. Also, this lady, temporarily staying in Westport, came to visit.

Clenda Wockmer, (hope i've spelt that right!), is a (3rd i think) cousin of mine - her grandfather was my great-uncle Bill and we had the same great-grandparents.

Uncle Bill had a grocer's shop, on Buller road in Reefton - now demolished. I actually made the model from a couple of old photos that Clenda's mother, June, sent down. The colours are from memory - i remember it well.

I put a garden out the front, complete with gardener and wheelbarrow etc., because Uncle Bill was a great gardener. Most of that generation of Hunts were - dunno what went wrong there!

Great to see you, Clenda.

One Little Saturday

We went out the front and fed the birds this morning - not a good idea really 'cos that 'Tripey Tat caught one & killed it!


Warren came around and put a new letter-box up. I could've helped him, but he managed it himself.


Just me & my cousin


We went out to On Yer Bike, where Granddad's village is, and Michael gave us all a ride in the Haglund. Thanks Michael.


It was Cool!!!


Boys in the bath. where's the other one?


Oh yeah. In there - he's busy.


That's better.


We also went to the Warehouse so Kyle & Connor could spend their holiday money. Guess what I got? - Yeah, Heroes! (Mummy says we're going to need a trailer to take them all home).

Day Seven A'ready

One Little Mytton, (Day whatever).

Hi Fans! Here's my day from start to finish - they just made me hang around in bed all day.

No, we did get out & about really, but no-one remembered the camera. We went to town, to the Corrections Department. That was interesting. While we were there, i stood in the doorway and the door-bell kept going & going. A lady said, "I don't think you should be doing that, Little Boy". Hah! Some people think they can boss people around!

We walked over to town and back. Well, Fizzy walked - someone had to push the wheelchair. Vi and I rode in the chair. Very cool.

I did get out and walk for a couple of minutes. I told Vi to get out and walk now. She wouldn't! (How rude). She said something about "can't".

See that blood on my knee? The bad road hurt me. I quite like blood really.






cheers, Luke

One Little Mytton (Day 5)

Another day. More rain, more sun, more fun. Ho humm.

We went to the park. There were no other kids there - wimps!


Hey Mum! Can you say 'Whangai'?


I do like this football game. Everyone has to play. (It'd be even better if we had a ball).


Connor has been very busy, but still found time for football.


I think I broke my Granddad!


That's all.
