We had such a lovely day spoiling Lance on Fathers Day this year; just hanging out and relaxing, making him breakie in bed, brunch in the sun, wine and cheese in the arvo and a specially requested Roast Lamb for dinner.  Yep, you heard right – breakie AND brunch, cos that’s just how we do Fathers Day in our house.  Sticky sweet pastries, bagels, cream cheese, salmon… you get the idea I am sure!

Actually, it sounds like we pretty much just ate all day which is kind of true, although he also squeezed in some recreational gardening as well (total mystery to me how gardening can be considered anything but a complete chore but then I am a non-gardener, which I imagine you would have gathered from the comment!).

To save you from being subjected to photos of our gluttonous eating spree (or Lance’s gardening for that matter), I have unearthed one of my favourite shots from soon after our daughter Jessie was born, a gorgeous moment which always reminds me how delicate and yummy those first few months are with a newborn.

Happy belated Fathers Day everyone.

The weather bomb has been lashing most of the country, and Waiheke Island is no exception.  Last weekend we watched from our window as the roof blew off one our neighbouring houses!  !!!  Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before!  Most of their roof peeled back and lifted off in one almighty sheet.  Luckily, the roofing iron got tangled between a bushy tree and another neighbours’ house so it didn’t go sailing off on the wind like a kite!  A couple of times we all held our breath as it looked like it would catch the wind and go flying, but it managed to stay put until the fire dept arrived to deal with it!  :0

My brave hubby Lance (who as some of you know is also my esteemed and brilliant assistant) faced the raging winds to get the below pic, which was front page of The Waiheke Marketplace this week. 

Good on ya, luv.
