Meeting Roger Moore.....(by Randel)

So there I was having a chinwag with me old mate Roger Moore & his wife Kristina explaining how great their work was with UNICEF & their tours in Africa & how it made a difference to the world & various stunts in his program "The Saint". Or maybe I was just to awestruck & happy to have his mark on my copy of his autobiography. In the 30 minutes I had to read before the signing, I got pulled into his life story & think he's one of those extraordinary people who live to make a difference in the world.

Summer weekend - part two...

Hi there. This is actually part two of "Summer Weekend". As I'm still new at this blogging thing, I don't know how to change them around and until I do....they are back to front. Also, the post is shown as Saturday but it is actually Sunday evening here in New Zealand so I have to work out how to correct that as well.....

Myself, Chantelle and Camilla visited my good friend Carin - here she is with her son, George. Carin is a South African I've known for about two years now. Carin's daughter Nicky is a good friend of Camilla's.

Randel and I had a few hours out on Sunday afternoon when we went to watch a concert held at St -Matthews -In-The-City which is the most impressive old english type church I've ever been into. (Dawn, remember the necklace....) A work colleague of mine played the violin in the concert. Below is a photo of the orchestra and a bit of how spectacular the church is.

Summer weekend

Summer is officially here in Auckland and we plan to take full advantage of it. This was a very relaxing, lovely and warm weekend. We relaxed in the sun.......





Randel, Chantelle and Camilla........




Sarah had her friend Nathan over and they enjoyed the spa pool


Camilla slept over at Nicky's house on Saturday night. Here Camilla and Nicky are with Nicky's baby rabbit....

The Foam People

Before draining the spa on Sunday, we put some bubblebath in, just to make life interesting!! It didn't take long for Chantelle, Camilla and Catherine to jump in and soon after that this is what they looked like!! Needless to say both the spa and the girls were squeaky clean after that....

Catherine (minus a tooth)

Catherine's front tooth has finally come out after wiggling around in her mouth for weeks. One front tooth not only makes her look different but also makes her SOUND different.... She convinced her Dad to cut her hair "shorter" and here's a photo of the job he did. We think it looks good on her!

A Day at Rainbows End

We had another fun day at Rainbows End on Saturday. Chantelle and Camilla are adrenalin junkies with the Power Surge and Roller Coaster being their favourites!! Camilla braved the dreaded Fear Fall for the first time. She was very nervous going up but the first thing she said when she reached the bottom again was "I LIKE THIS!!"
