And it is persisting down..... Had a pick up from Pukerangi to do this afternoon. The people are heading off on the Rail Trail tomorrow; hmmmmmmm - hope that they have lots of suitable clothing. One of the things that I am doing is taking a 'Wedding Ring' quilt, that Irene has made especially, over to Edinburgh as a gift to the extended family. They can fight over who actually gets to keep it :) This quilt (and another I have in my bag which I am supposed to try and sell over there) are made from Kiwiana Theme fabrics. Sadly the pics do not show that detail but I thought you might be interested to see what my big sis gets up to. So this is the wedding ring quilt - so called as the whole thing is sewn with the intersecting 'wedding rings'. The rings are kowhaiwhai. The centre right panel is a mob of merino sheep with a heading dog sitting on their backs.
The second quilt has Keas as the central panel with possums on one side and hedgehogs on the other.
Any quilt orders can be sent to Big Sis....
Paula reports that Bridgie and Isla are now happily poking about in the 'Creek Paddock' with Valentine. For the pony people 'out there' Bridgie and Valentine are actually half sibs (out of Canningvale Bonnie Sue) but have only met today for the first time.
Weather down on the Taieri Plain today is as bad as it is up here, by all accounts. The big difference being that although when wet here usually mud is not a problem, unlike the flood plain of the Taieri, the converse of course is that drought is often a problem in Middlemarch.
No snow yet. If it does really snow I will put a pic up. I hope that it doesn't because it could make getting out of here 'eventful'.
