More Snow !!!

Hey People

OK the snow is higher than the garden fence now so thats 1.20m of snow !! You can see how high the snow is from the swing posts ...

The view from the lounge window upstairs is now blocked by snow.

The Chamios in the garden is also buried and he is life size !

Peter on the curling lane - we have'nt had this much snow here before !

Great huh ! Thank goodness for snow machines to clear the stuff and lovely big spades ! My poor arms !!

Hello All

Well Saturday was the big party day. We always have Charly's birthday in the morning as she just goes 100% all out and is so knackered after it that she needs a few hours on the couch to come down. Anyway, there were 17 kids and it was a ball. The magician got stuck in the snow traffic jam and got there a bit late but he was fantastic. Even made a table float up in the air. The kids were screaming out and really getting into it all.

A big thanks to all of you who sent Birthday cards and presents for Charly. She loved them all. Things in the post are sooooo exciting. Charly got a scooter from us and a heap of little goodies from her friends. We have a rule of just something very little which the guests all stuck to really well.

She had a carnival theme for her party as it's carnival time in Europe. Some great little outfits. The best would have to be Jonas and his Dracula outfit complete with blood on his chin and shirt - fantastic !

The cake was made exactly to Charly's wishes - we were in the shop and she was telling Andreas what she wanted on there and he did it all !!! Amazing job !

Here are the photos:

As you can see it was a busy, big, fun party !

Snow Snow Snow

Hey People

Sorry about not writing earlier but so much has been happening - snow wise and house wise. After getting back from NZ I have had a bit to catch up on in the office and the house and also getting Charly's birthday organised.

First of all - a few photos of the fantastic snow we have ! The balcony had over 1m of snow on it which we spent Sunday shoveling out like maniacs. They have predicted warmer weather which means wetter snow and much heavier so we had to get rid of the last lot or it would have been too much weight on the terrace and the roof of the office.

Here is the snow:

Hope you enjoy them.

NZ Holiday

Hey People

We are both having a great time in NZ and thoroughly enjoyed seeing Karl in Australia on the way. The weather in Australia was hot as to be expected and this was a big change - minus 10 to 38 plus !!!

We did lots with Karl and loved being shown around Perth and where he lives. Rottnest Island was also great until the jellyfish attacked Charly. A bit of vinegar, ice pack, warm shower and soothing cream did the trick and we were off again !

The weather in Dunedin was crap at the beginning but now it has made an about turn and is pretty good with 32 degrees yesterday !! We even spent the last 2 days at the beach.

Had a fantastic time in Wanaka for 4 days with Keri, Dave, Jack, Josh and Henri. Also managed to catch up on Jan, Clare and Aunty Nan in Clyde on the way back.

Maybe on the next trip we will just meet Mum and Dad in Wanaka and have our holiday in Central Otago !!

Here are some photos of our trip so far:
