Today we did a hike in the Blue Mountains very tiring but good. There are lots of different routes and distances and difficulties (as steep climbs), we decided to start off on a medium route, about seven and half kms, lots of steps going down, but then you have to come back the same way, up !

Some of the pictures show how dense the vegetation is and seems to go on for miles (which it does).

Quilting

Give me a minute to think...

Taking a break from her writing, Fiona decided to make a quilt. She did a great job, her first quilt looks good, her mother would be proud. Another tick off Fiona's list of "Things to do before I die".

This is Kian's pose when you ask him to smile

I love my Dad

We took time off and went to see the family in Wellington. We had a great time in spite of Kian coming down with chickenpox the day we arrived.
