Then on to Foxton, by which time the coffee was drinkable!!
It was a good crossing, but when we arrived in Picton it was a good deal hotter!!
A short half hour drive to Blenheim where we found that the friends we are staying with had got married in their garden four hours earlier. We knew they had been planning a quiet no fuss wedding...and far less cost here than in the UK.
It is fortunate that we travelled yesterday, as there was a massive gas leak in Picton today and ferries had to turn back.
Summer is here with a vengeance and total fire bans...so it was a relief to have a misty morning for our group ride today...and after riding around Whanganui, the roads here were easy!!
As the afternoon turned hot, pirate did some bike cleaning and maintenance, and I got on with designing the next table mat.
This one just needs the black border.

Your table mats are beautiful. I can certainly see how the brick pavers are an inspiration to your quilting.
I was a bit envious of your warm weather. It's been cold here last week.
I approve of quick, casual weddings. And placemats inspired by street paving.
An excellent inspirational choice.
Good looking fiber art! You didn't say anything about the paintings along a wall...where? Nice to see art posted on fences.
Barb, it is in Foxton. Murals are very popular in New Zealand
I love your table mats! It drives me crazy, however, when I get served coffee that is so hot I can't drink it.
been about 4 years since I've been in the Manawatu, apparently levin was named as a place where you can buy a cheap house.
Agreed Steve, beans are not supposed to get boiling water.. coffee or cocoa!
