P and Q Picnic.

Yesterday was the right temperature for a picnic. ( not too hot or too windy ) Our Patchwork and Quilting group met at Yatton Park (  off Fraser street in Tauranga ). We sat beneath a large Cherry tree. Only about 25 of our members turned up, many still being away on holiday I think. The fountain above is part of a water feature in the park.

 From the fountain pool the water runs downhill in this shallow narrow stream. Alright for paddling in a small boys told me , but a bit slippery.

This is where we spent a couple of hours,  under this tree , chatting, stitching ( by hand ) some knitting. 

 Some quilt bindings got finished. I stitched down the bindings around some of my new letters I have been producing.

 There are public toilets and BBQs and playground as part of the park. Not a large amount of parking space  inside the park however. The road outside can be used ( and just step over a low fence ), also a nearby side street. A feature of this park has always been big huge old trees, some rare ones.

 Worth a visit and a walk  or a picnic if you are nearby.
