Berries galore


Saturday 27th June: Today started icy cold but turned into a chilly but sunny day again. In the morning Steve went out flying his planes. The boys and I packed Edward's stuff for Cub Camp and I baked muffins for him to take.
After lunch we drove Edward to Attwill Park, on the edge of Waimate for his winter camp. He had agreed to stay overnight- his first night away from us. The rest of us drove round the corner to revisit the house we went to on Monday. Steve and his boss Barney went up in the roof space to have a look, and I measured up rooms and had a closer look at parts of the garden.
The boys had tea and our neighbour came in to babysit. Steve and I went out for a lovely meal at Riverstone Kitchen south of the Waitaki River, about 20 minutes from here on the way to Oamaru. The meal was excellent and we went with the locum GP and her husband who is at Steve's surgery at the moment. They are from Canada and are living two doors down from us.
The photo is of a bush in our front garden that is covered in berries and is alive with blackbirds and sparrows all day.
