Our Probus Club had planned a pot-luck lunch on Tuesday at Graeme and Kay’s spacious country home. Their grand-children were on hand to help with the parking, and all the cars were slotted into place. Members arrived, with their finger food contribution for lunch, and what a wonderful spread there was. Plenty for everyone, and wonderful choices, a veritable feast.
Just some of the food on offer, there was plenty more
The weather was nice and warm, so we decided to sit outside on the deck, under the huge Archgola, chatting to some of the members. The teenager grand-daughter kindly took a photo for me. We marveled as she balanced on the edge of the deck on her tippy toes, and climbed up effortlessly onto a wooden bench. “You can’t do that when you are our age”, we told her, sadly balance and mobility problems are creeping up on us all these days.

We were called inside to help ourselves to lunch, with coffee to follow, and had a great catch up with friends. It was a lovely time indeed. When it was time to go I went to collect my plate. “Take some of this food home” our hostess implored us, so some goodies came back with me, that saved on cooking an evening meal.
Then today, in-between the showers, our caravan was moved from it’s parking spot to the car parks outside our villa, all ready to get loaded up for our three day weekend away. This will be our first time away since early December, so Robin is getting itchy feet. We are off to Oroua Downs School, not too far away up SH1, and we are looking forward to catching up with our caravan buddies again.
Ready for our next trip away

What a lovely way to spend the day. There was no excuse for anyone going home hungry. Have a great weekend away. I hope the weather plays nicely.
