Sunny Old Sunday




This is the view on a Sunny morning from our backyard.  We look across onto a part of town that will never be developed, but left as natural park land known as the green belt.  To the right of the two top photos you can see a cream building with a red roof just peeking out.  That is Government House, where the governor General lives.  So when Will + Kate + George came, and Charles + Camilla, that is where they stayed.  Just across the road from us.

Mum and I had a little old sleep in today then it was too warm to stay in bed, so mum got up and put some more washing on.  Today was sheets and towels, exciting stuff.  A nice bagel for her brunch then she thought she would head out for a walk in the fresh air and to make the most of having both sunshine and warmth.She even broke out the birkenstocks, which made her realise how pasty her feet and legs look.  Time to begin to look for a couple of things for Christmas.  Did she find anything for anybody else - well no.  Did she find a couple of things for herself - yes.  She even got me an early Christmas present.  I will show you tomorrow!!!

  2. Wow, right next door to the Important People! Impressive! :-)

    Sounds like a lovely Sunday, Poppy! We're chilly here, it was warmer in Halifax (our biped was visiting her mom). She hasn't gotten US anything for Christmas yet! Can we have your mum? :-)

  3. Poppy, dear, what a beautiful view of greenery you enjoy! Small wonder the Royals always comment about their pleasant surroundings when they visit NZ -- what a nice change from stuffy government houses in air-would-gag-a-goat urban locations.

  9. What a lovely view from your garden, Poppy. We have green trees in the summer but in the winter we can see right into the neighbour's house (he walks around a lot drinking wine. No royalty.) I wonder what your present is..... From Jessica
