wonder which is better?

In the blogging stratosphere, is it better to post more frequently with less content or less frequently with more content?
Or shall I just do what I jolly well please?

Anyhoo, the men of the house have decided to do the 'BBC100 books to read before you die' list. Amazon have just announced their list as well in case you're interested.

So far, Paul's ahead of the game. A whiff of competition and he's onboard. I was happy to supply a good number of the titiles from the home library and a family whip around provided many more.

 
Urra per libri as they say in Italy.

leave NZ, and leave you with some crafty images

I think these pieces speak for themselves.











Galleries in New Zealand do have geological concerns though. I've never seen a sign like this before.

smell the roses

and enjoy the flowers we found along the way in the north of the South Island.

talk about food again

It is food in Kiwiland though.

Your thoughts on the following ...

Breakfast at the B and B in Hanmer Springs.

Sweets fridge in a cafe at Westport.

New year's Eve dinner In Nelson.

Fried mussels in Havelock.

Steak and cutlets in Marlborough Region


This is a ring in from Xmas in Bne.

Feeling quite content after reviewing the dining.

Have 2 words

New Zealand.

It's a breath of fresh air when you need it most.
See what I mean.

Green, even in drought.


Spectacular scenery


Fabulous art


Hobbits


Did I mention the scenery?

A great survivor attitude
...and old world charm.

More to come; I promise.

trailed some scarecrows

A glorious Brisbane Spring day; time to relax and have a drive in the country.
We've been trying to visit Tambourine for their Annual Scarecrow Festival for years now.
Yesterday was the day!


Here are my favourites, in no particular order.











Scarecrow Festival - tick!
I have a very tame 'bucket list' don't I?
