Living Like a Small Green Hairy Fruit

Home Homey Home - Mainly Outside

Just a few pics of our new home:

We had the telephone line connected. No Talk Talk plans available here so I thought I'd best put it up out of the kids' reach for now till we've worked out how much calls will cost.

This is the duck pond at Matawai Park which is the small reserve/park opposite our house.  Think the ducks have all left for England though as they heard there were now wide stretches of open water across most of the country!

The kids on Waikuku beach, where it's considered by the locals to be 'packed' if you see more than 3 people.  That's the Pacific Ocean - just 10 minutes from where we live!

and there's the kids running the other way along the beach, just to prove how uncrowded it is!

Man makes fire!! Or not, in the case of my two. The woods behind you guys! It might come in handy...

Back door to side of house and our log store (the brown wood lean to thingy)

The hot tub. Luscious ain't it? Well, the sides were covered in coconut matting but Mark needed to take that off to get to the pump and switches and look what a rotten mess was underneath! Still the hot tub itself is clean; seats 6 and the jets are powerful, as Mark proved when he half filled the tub, turned them on and soaked me! I sent the kids out to see and he soaked them too - well, why should I have all the fun?!

Back garden on the other side of the house

The stream that runs along the back of the garden
