how about the "field dressing" on the 18 month old's brow - he picked off as scab in the hire car and we had to dress it with a paper towel and some electrical tape as it was all we had in the car - Kiwi ingenuity......

photobucket is better but it was late......
you can enlarge the thumbnail by clicking on it once. When you have done that, you can enlarge it again by clicking on the X in the top left hand corner.

I've moved the music posts to their own thread in the Sheep Dip to leave this thread clear for the photos everyone enjoys.



1 - View from the top of my road looking out to the main highway. Route 60.

2 - Mapua Estuary looking inland

3 - Mapua Causeway.

all of these are within just a few minutes walk from our house.

Lovin all the photos! Thanks.

We are flying out on 15 October, and I am feeling a little nervous about the move.

The lovely photos are definitely helping!

(Hoping to live east Auckland way).
