Season First’s

As you know, we are in the early stages of Spring here in NZ. The garden has been planted, the pathway has been built and now the weather is getting warmer. We decided to start our weekend off with our first BBQ of the season!!!



We had a seafood BBQ which included squid, lemon fish (and to my friends and family at home, no it doesn’t taste like lemon), and green-lipped mussels. Veggies were corn, asparagus, zucchini and tomatoes (not home grown yet…), and a cute chef to stare at. Teeheehee

With most of our big home projects done and out of the way, we have a bit more time to enjoy our hobbies and our home. Since the weather was predicted to be calm and warm, we went for our first kayak of the season!!!!


It was such a calm morning, the water looked like a mirror.


I loaded my boys (dog and hubby) in their kayak and off we went.



Once hubby let my dog fall in the water, I took over. Thank goodness for the handle on the lifejacket.




All in all, it was a great weekend! Had a great BBQ at home, also had a great night out with friends, then ended our weekend with a relaxing and scenic kayak.


Lots more of this to come....
