Frolicks in the sun

Our friend Brian is visiting, and on Sunday we took him north out of Christchurch, to make the most of a beautiful sunny day.

First of all we stopped by some wineries in Waipara, for tastings and purchase of some very fine wine. Then we went a bit further north to Scargill, to visit Fiona and Richard. They are lovely people and also have three cute little kittens and a swimming pool, so our visit was very enjoyable. Skry's broken arm is in a sling so he wasn't able to take part in the water sports, but he did make an excellent photographer and ballboy. Thanks, Skry! :)

Looks like a lot of fun- I am so envious!

Yeah that was a lot of fun - great weather and friends with a lovely house and pool. Driving through vineyard territory on the way there was the icing on the cake!

Oh yeah and breaking my arm was a good thing for a change: this time I wasn't designated driver! So my fourth trip to Waipara Valley was a tasting one not a designated driving one :D
