South Island Holiday

Celine with the cast of 'What now' after the show - unfortunately the great photo of her with the presenters was deleted by Ella!

Parents didn't get to go on the show, we watched it in the waiting room.

This is the start of the St James walk on the top of the Lewis Pass. No snow there in late May, but georgous!

We didn't make it to the West Coast, or to Kaikoura. We spent most of our time at Hanmer Springs.

Our friends Ciaran and Sarah came runners up in the Sharemilker contest. This was a great result. We'd loved for them to win, but runners-up I think will suit them better - they will have a busy year anyway, without being in the limelight as well!

We also went to visit Andrew and Anne-Mary at Culverdon. They have been extemely busy! Andrew has just bought 1000 hectares, and is building two 80 bale rotaries - as well as developing the farm for irrigation.

After getting back from Christchurch, I left the family for a two day meeting at the other end of New Zealand - Kerikeri. I love the Northland region, but was really only there for work. I even missed out on going to the chocolate factory there! Well I guess that's a good thing!
