VC Valentine

No he hasn't lost his way, but paying plenty.No 9 on the board. He is at Addington and returning after getting 3rd and paying $4.50. Good man.

Loo

Wouldn't get caught short here.

Demo

Jacqui is showing us how her new camera works. Press the button and pan and you have a panorama.We all look interested if not gorgeous.lol

Air Man

On the way out of Christchurch got this picture of this wee fellow.He whips all over the place so with one shot while Jacqui drove by.Had the luck that he whipped into the frame at the right moment..A bit out of focus but pleased with the effort.

The Girls

Friday night and the girls have drinks.A good time to catch up for the week.

Sunset over the Alps

Again another great sunset. I never get sick of the changing canvas.We are so lucky to live here with these views.

Cliffs Place

This lovely old house is where a vet hangs out in Christchurch. He has also produced a great range of health products for humans.The Crusaders are on the Body Guard product it is good.

Speights

Thought of you Russell, when we saw this in front of us in ChCh today. Jacqui had to wash the windscreen, so I could get a good shot.

What a worry

Don't we all think that. Lucky most of us don't have mirrors to give a good view of our butts.

Beach sunrise

This is a sun rise over the lagoon at the beach.Taken a while ago but thought it was worthy of putting up tonight.Spent my spare time today watching golf. Shame..................

Pay Up

Got to golf today first time for 2 months, I keep breaking down.a few drinks a nibble and a bit of a yarn, good to be back. I had a good round the break must have helped. The wee pink tin is for us to pay, for misdemeanors over the round.

College Ball

Went to take photos of the decorations for the college ball. It is a Roman theme.

Sox

Got the bed sox on the fire is roaring the TV going.Isn't winter great. I hate winter.....

Demo

First Jacqui swapped tips with Jamie then she thought she might give him a tip or two.

VC

Pete has just raced he looks quite happy in his luxury apartment he is going to have to improve his skills he is a nice horse with not much speed poor fellow. 

Studio

Setting up the studio for a sitting this one was a no show has the flew so next time.

Snowing

The snow has started to fall but half an hour after in the bottom picture the weanling is waiting for some lunch.

Calves

The calves are doing well they are happy have a rack of balage and the snow hasn't arrived.

New Phone

The screen on my phone died so Jacqui and I went shopping for a new one. I is soooo nice has big writing , nice and easy to read. Peter thinks it is so small I will have it lost in no time. I will prove him wrong.

Nor West Arch

Just on dark and after a raw day there is now a huge Nor West Arch looking up to Mt Hutt.

Has he got a heart

Have called in the expert to see if Red has a heart he seems quite happy about it. We found one so that is good.

Races

Still raining Peters happy face must have been before Red ran he didn't handle the wet at all poor fellow.

Water everywhere

Another 2 inches rain everywhere again We have just made winter and I have had enough, the wettest I have seen here.It doesn't go well with training horses.

Quince

Dull old Sunday here so Peter took the tractor to the Quince tree it had started to die so that is the end of it was pretty when it was flowering.

Oak

This is my favorite tree in the garden it is so nice in the Autumn and ever so messy if the wind takes the leaves round to the back door.

Ginko

The last leaves are on the Ginko tree I was going to make some tea with the leaves, for the memory they say they are good but didn't get round to it. Will have to work on it next year.They are such a pretty shape.

Spider

I came across this long legged spider just lounging around looks like Jacqui.

Coco

My friends cat Coco is not impressed the vet has said she needs to join Tubby cats to go on a diet.I think she has a right to have the grumpy look on the face, she looks great.

Winter

First day of winter and the ski fields are really happy snow everywhere took this on the way to Christchurch out the truck window first time we have seen a nice day for a bit the Alps were magnificent.
