Lots of Reading.

 I've just remembered to update my Reading List on my side bar. ( unfortunately Blogger has mixed my list all up ! )  I have been so enjoying getting lost in good books.  Authors I am currently passionate about are  Lucinda Riley; Belinda Alexandra , Fiona McIntosh and Santa Montefiore.

 Mostly we are staying home .  It's the safest place.


We have both been doing lots of gardening and now with a little rain things are are looking washed and less stressed. Water restrictions have come into force so the rain was very timely. We have had lots of plums,  tomatoes ,some beans, loads of courgettes, but  potatoes dug so far are disappointing in yield.

 Yesterday when 6 year old Grandson spent the day here we went collecting cicada skins. We counted them in piles of 5. 
 We also visited the Te Puna Quarry Park where the small ponds have flowering water lilies,

No water restrictions here in Whangarei but the rain was very welcome.

I hear it has been very dry in Tauranga, the Te Puna quarry gardens are lovely, I used to take Mum there for an outing.

The garden is sounding great..... Fresh from it is always so good..... The fun find of cicadaa shells.... It's been a long time since I've done that.....

Come and get some of our water - currently too plentiful! Mangroves - that sounds very sinister ... are they not the plants that are supposed to shriek as you pull them up???
