After being a year in the planning, I met up with some immediately and extended family members for a reunion. This is only a small portion of people, there were many that couldn’t come. There are some people that look like the Chinese side of the family and others that look like the Scottish side of the family. I’m standing up on the left and B is in front of me in the red sweatshirt. I’m thankful we all got to catch up after so many years.
But it’s been a funny week so far. While we have been in Auckland I’ve heard one person while we were out and about saying how cold it is there. For us the warm sun and temperatures have been very warm compared to where we are in the South Island. Auckland at night has been 14 degrees celsius, in Greymouth it usually gets up to 13-14 degrees celsius during the day in Winter. The warmer go you up New Zealand, the warmer the temperatures are.
I have learned 3 things this week while on holiday:
- Auckland drivers are nowhere near as crazy as Greymouth drivers.
- Clothes that have been washed and put on hangers inside dry alot quicker than they do at home.
- I don’t know how I managed raising 3 little ones under 5 years old when my children were growing up – my son and daughter in law are doing a fabulous job with my grand daughter, she wore me out after spending 1 day with her.
Linking up with Tuesday Treasures, Happy Tuesdays. and Thankful Thursdays.
