Thanks for the lovely railway photos Ali - will have to show them to Nigel when he gets home tonight :o) It's one of our retirement ambitions (if we're spared and if we've any money left after putting our three through uni) to travel on some of the great railway journeys around the world - well you can dream can't you? :o)
lovely photos, glad you had such a good time. Everytime I go shopping I look for Kiwi fruit..grown in NZ... but can only find grown in Queensland.....will keep hunting.:)
Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga
since 1978. Recently retired after 40 years working on our own small orchard where we grew Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many fruit, nuts, vegetables and flowers.Our new property runs down to an estuary.. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.
