Moving on to something pleasant.
As you can see I had started eating before I remembered to take the photo . The first of our own Kiwifruit for this year - it ripened on the fruit bowl beside all the ripening feijoas - it was so sweet and juicy. Dry matter tests are being done on our crop today and we should be picking within the next week.
Yesterday I met this busy little hedgehog in the orchard - I think she posed for me.That's what you need for your garden Keewee, to eat slugs and snails.
By the time I finished my long walk last evening this is what I saw down at the beach. 
I am gradually working my way through the butterfly blocks ( and still don't like them ) putting in details and patterns on wings, sometimes using fancy stitches on the machine but each block should have had stabiliser like the centre panel .
