Weekend

We spent a lovely afternoon here at Kaiteriteri on Saturday. Although it was crispy cold, the sun was shining and the cappuccinos were hot and delicious when we had them at this cafe. We had collected my Mum and her wheelchair from the rest home and drove out to catch the sun and give her a little bit of nostalgia for Mother's Day. This was a favorite place of hers when my Dad was alive, they came here a lot...Mum was a bit of a sun babe in her day.

I am still picking feijoas, and for those of you who aren't familiar with this fruit, here is the definition. I wish I could post a bag of them to all of you out there...they are very nice.

and we have limes too ! Not very many trees as yet, but hoping to plant a lime orchard next year.

I have been half heartedly looking for recipes for lime and lemon marmalade. Making marmalade is another one of those things that I "should' be doing instead of browsing through the internet looking at blogs like this one and sitting in the sun on the window seat procastinating big time with my crochet hook.

Thought I would show the Mother's Day gifts I received.....

this beautiful gardenia and the dear little flower that you can see has the most divine perfume. and the shocking pink cyclamen goes so well in my living room. Coordinates perfectly with the cushions.

Hoping your Mother's Day was equally pleasurable.
