Grandpa Mark and Mandy - the Return!

After 6 weeks cruising around New Zealand and the Cook Islands, Grandpa Mark and Mandy stopped with us for another 2 nights before their flight back home.  It was lovely to see them looking very relaxed and very tanned!  

We once again had a fabulous evening out at Hugos but this time without the children.  We were extremely lucky with the weather because we had been caught at lunchtime in a hail storm but the weather cleared and it was a beautiful evening.  

Grandpa Mark and Mandy spent lots of time with me in the car whilst on my MUber duties (Mandy came up with that term - brilliant!) but we also fit in some shopping, swimming and coffee drinking whilst the kids were at school.  

On the morning of their flight to the UK I took them on our local bush walk from Tania Park down to Forty Baskets and back home.  The weather had turned a little grey but it was perfect for a walk to stretch the legs before that long flight.
