Our Easter break away

On Good Friday, we set up tables and chairs here (above) and enjoyed lots (and I mean lots) of fresh, local prawns and a huge salad. White white and this view. The children made new friends and we lost the afternoon scrambling over rocks at the waters edge. Collecting shells, chasing little crabs and catching baby shrimp in the rock pools.









Over the weekend we enjoyed magical weather, more beach, water parks, markets, bike rides, walks along the pier, playgrounds and museums.









The Easter Bunny found us at Dad's house, delivering not only chocolate but new books and warm winter pajama's. After breakfast, our traditional easter egg hunt began. Leaving our hunting baskets at home, we found that ice-cream containers do the job perfectly.

A good Good Friday

By now you may have realised that my favourite days are spent lazing around with family and friends and eating heaps of yummy food.
Well, Good Friday was no exception.

Mum came over for a leisurely breakfast. I made this 'puffed apple pancake' recipe from Bills "Holiday" cookbook. It set the pace a lovely lazy day.

Mr Moo went fishing (and actually caught some fish!)

My Dad and Tiya Ning arrived from the country mid morning. Dad took Spunky Monkey and Miss Moo Moo for a bushwalk while Tiya Ning and I relaxed, prepping lunch and chatting.



Lunch was an Italian-style seafood stew, a large salad and crusty sourdough bread. Some yummy New Zealand wine and chocolate tart to finish off. Devine! Needless to say we did more relaxing and chatting after lunch.

A good Good Friday.
