They brought the city to life.<BR/><BR/>Your article in the Dominion Post was lovely, what an idyllic way to spend your holiday. We did laugh at your mention of the Cheese place. Guess where we had been the day before! We had a lovely time at Mt Bruce, then traveled up the road to look at the model trains and sample cheeses. Alas, as you thought, Sally had gone to the great pasture in the sky, but we tasted some and brought some lovely "Just Molly" and she also had "Just Elsie" and "Molly in a hurry."<BR/><BR/>We're now in Napier, enjoying the sunshine and looking forward to sampling the local vintages.Vanda Symonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956034768397598056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-67401232253703250752008-12-29T19:37:00.000+13:002008-12-29T19:37:00.000+13:00All the best for the new year, Mary.

I spent much of my childhood at the beach in Karaka Bay which was, as you say, "foaming with pohutukawa" at Christmas time.<BR/>Hope you have a great breakCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-42114064662209215802008-12-24T09:44:00.000+13:002008-12-24T09:44:00.000+13:00Marry Christmas to you too Mary!
