Summertime Reading Club

Yes folks it's back again this year... the Summertime Reading Club at the Christchurch City Libraries.
There are weekly book prizes and even an iPod touch to be won.

If you are not confident using a computer, a librarian will help you register when you call into the library.

Happy Reading!

Heart Shaped Stone Collection

I found some new stones to add to my collection on the West Coast. We had sunny warm weather the whole time we were on the Coast - there're not many people who can say that!
I hope your holidays are going well. Have you practiced climbing a fireman's pole? I did in the first week, down at our local park.
See you soon

What a Lovely Way to Start the Holiday

There's nothing like a new born babe to remind you how amazing people are.  My boys and I went and visited Ms Douglas and her new baby Harry at Christchurch Womens' after school today. He's lovely! Welcome to the world Harry.

I hope you all have a happy holiday. It's been quite a historic term hasn't it? Not one we'll soon forget.
