Out and about in New Plymouth


Mum wouldn't let me go to bed until she won a game of Five Crowns! I'm not exaggerating!

My new hot water bottle.  "Hottie"  as it's known in NZ.
Around town.

Lunch at The Batch with Jenny.
 
And a wee walk with a quick selfie on the pier. Friends since 15 years old!

Board game (Azul) instruction and laughs with Leanne and Justin.
This lady made the teapot cozy mum bought me!

Father's day... and all dads kids were there. 

I had a stack of mint and pea fritters. Laureen had the crumpets French toast. (Why didn't I get that?! Look! Even has flowers!) 

The family.

The parents.


This quartz bracelet, made in India, was a "me to me" gift (impulse buy) at a local craft market.  The seller lives in Ohura - a town of 120 people where my mom grew up and my parents met.  
The French sisters... out for a walk and a coffee.
Marmite toast under poached eggs. It's a kiwi thing!
Kealy is my oldest friend.... 45 years and still going strong.
Flat white. Because when in Rome...

The iconic Mt Taranaki.

I know what you're thinking... 
She ate a LOT in New Zealand. Yep. And didn't do much exercise either. Weirdly, still the same size. 
This trip was full of mini-miracles!
