Skating!

I took my little pal Ida skating on her silver blades that came from Canada! She had so much fun, and was very excited as thought I was a real live ice princess! :) She did really well and it won't be long before she can be an ice princess too!

here's some more photos of the ducks and more flowers from Ashcombe...










They also came runner up in a New Zealand Home and Garden here's what the certificate said "This outstanding lifestyle property has been crafted with a vision that incorporates wide spaces and beautiful pockets of colour and scented wonder. Artwork and releics are displayed throughout, which allows you to pause and reflect before moving on"

Ashcombe

Been house sitting outside of Auckland for the long weekend, here are some photos of the beautiful property, with the gardens & duck pond.

Not hard to want to help out and take care of things around here for a few days! :)
