Happy in her sling
We all got up around 8am this morning. Sophie slept well in our bed, Mum didn’t sleep so good - in a little ball in the left hand corner of the bed. Kids hey?!

After having breakfast together looking out over the hillside we went for a lovely walk up the hills in Korokoro (where we met some donkeys along the way). I must admit having Sophie asleep in her new sling didn’t help. I was wheezing all the better the whole way up. When we got to the top there was a 360 degree view of Lower Hutt, Petone, over to Upper Hutt and even Wellington. The views were breathtaking… or was that just from carrying dear princess Sophie? The weather here is pretty overcast now. I am sat here in jeans at 12:30 but the nice thing is that the wind can sometimes take away the clouds and also, a bit like S.A. you can have all seasons in a day (a bit like the song).

We are off into Wellington today and then on to Tawa so I will let you know what we get up to tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the comments it’s been a lovely way to keep in touch.

Lots of love CandiXXXXX

PS Mom and Dad, Sophie is missing her Nanna and Grandad lots. I keep telling her how much she is loved by you two and also I am so grateful that you are coming on the Friday we return ‘cos when we arrived I felt really sick like the house we were staying in was moving it was pretty horrid. Can’t wait to see you XXX

Lou - thanks for all the mouse hunting, hope you don’t have to dispose of any more, there should be enough whiskey to get you through though if there are XXX
