Monday 19th October: Happy birthday Jamie. Today dawned bright and sunny. We packed up and left the campsite by 9am and spent the morning visiting more tile and lighting shops in Christchurch but still didn't manage to find what we wanted.
We stopped in Ashburton for lunch on the way home and the boys played in a small playground in the domain while I made lunch in the motorhome. As we passed through Timaru we stopped and visited some more shops and arrived home at 4pm.
After unpacking the motorhome it was time for tea and then I took Edward into town for Cubs. Tonight they needed to take their bikes to do some cycling in the adjacent velodrome for their cyclist badge. However, as we arrived it started chucking down with rain and kept going all evening and most of the night. Back at the house, Steve was fitting a sensor light to the outside of his workshop when it started raining. Giddy the Goat sheltered under the overhang of the workshop but was across the door and Steve couldn't get the door open to get out!! Finally after much laughing (mine!) Giddy was encouraged to move so Steve could escape, and then we found Giddy sheltering under the boat. She really hates the rain!
The photos are of the view from the motorhome stopped for lunch in Ashburton; the boys running back to the motorhome when I called them for lunch; and Giddy sheltering under the boat.
