Goodbye NZ, back for a birthday

Yes we are back, but here is Woody waiting in the bag to catch the flight home ☺☺

Sarah gave me this jumper and I sent her pic to show it fits great ♥♥

Sunday morning I hear the toot toot of steam so we road a tram there to check them out 

2 engines coming and Paul filming in the background 

One engine at the front 

And one at the back 

Toot Toot, you know I love these very much ♥♥

And later we drove to visit some others I love very much.....Lauren with Cooper and the bunny I made for him 

And dear April with Ray and the bunny I made her ♥♥

Bit of blurry pic of Trixie at the back door and if you look closely you will just see Max their cat next to television just his nose lol Only pics I took of them all as just enjoyed chatting and playing a little bit with April and Cooper  

Back home and hooking up something for someone soon 

A bit more of progress today.....

Well hope you all had a great weekend I know I did ☺☺

A movie below Paul took of the trains 

While away in NZ we had the fun times and the sad times....visited Maurice who was a 2nd Dad to Paul and he was in hospital and very unwell.......Unfortunately he died and we attended his funeral the following week. Thank full we were in the country and able to spend time with some of his children, our friends, and send our love to them again from OZ

Goodbye Maurice xoxoxo

Good memories ♥♥
