.......and we had an absolutely fabulous time. The weather was perfect for us and just framed the stunning scenery! I will take this opportunity to share just a couple of photos with you........
We flew in to Christchurch and drove north to Nelson - where we took part in the Nelson Miniature Show.
On the beach front at Kaikoura. It was amazing how close the snow was to the ocean.
A seal colony we came across on our drive north. I particularly liked the warning signs on the road - "Seals next 8 km"
I suppose that equates to ours which read "Kangaroos next 10km"
Another stunner - the Peloris river - which apparently starred in the recent Hobbit movie.
One of my favourite spots - Mapua! Just stunning.
Wellington from Victoria Peak.
I am seriously back to work again - lots of weaving to be done and my paperclay project to complete. More on that in my next post!!
I hope everyone is keeping well.
Hi Lidi, I am so glad to read you had a good time! You took some fantastic pictures of that region, thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHello Lidi! I so enjoyed this glimpse of New Zealand and thank you for posting them! My favorite novel "Green Dolphin Street' features New Zealand in its pioneer days and so although I have never been, I feel a special fondness for the country of the book that I love! Welcome back home and I greatly looking forward to the continuation of your newest projects both in paper clay and your world famous baskets!
