Goodbye NZ hello new grandbaby

Now back home but this snap was while staying in Auckland at a motel and rain it did lol 

and very heavy on the day we decided to go in to the city of Auckland 

thought we would check out the wharf 

and one massive ship was in......

and another much smaller but still BIG lol 

we had this neat tissue box that was in Dad's car that we were still using.....and the car has now been bought by a dealer.....

our nz friends John and Leone 

selfie group pic 😀😀

our last night in nz we went to this place for tea 

amazing decorations 

still walking through to the restaurant area 

in part of the restaurant.....very neat and had a wonderful meal here and forgot to take pics as reckon I was hungry lol 

and on Tuesday we were flying back home and Woody was keen as usual 

NZ125 

and it involved a bus out on the tarmac to meet our plane lol 

Woody ready for flight.....no wing view this time 

we were in the middle section.....2 aisle's with 3 3 3 seating 

and we were in this section near the loos....so handy 

I got to watch Adele again with Graham Norton doing interview in between songs....loved this 

and crowded house again too good Aussie concert 

Woody enjoyed too 

Paul reckoned Woody was safe in his pocket for the landing lol 

and now we are back home but on our way back yesterday......

dropped in to see that gorgeous Miss April who had plenty of smiles 💖

and Granny  got to meet COOPER lol so cute and little 😀

and Granpa had a hold too 

hello blog world lol 

and today Thursday we are back at our regional home and just look at that sky.....a tad threatening of storms lol 

Love out there and may your week be a good one xoxo

Flying back to the North Island NZ

Well on Monday we had a last walk around at Dunedin and here is one of many of the lovely churches 😊

and another which is now a bar......The Monkey Bar

we packed up all our stuff and were ready for a drive back to Queenstown for 1 night....

I got to see this cute shot of little baby Cooper who I will MEET next week when back home again 😇

Paul says hello to you all again 

our kind of view from the motel unit in Queenstown and just took it easy as we were flying yesterday (Tuesday) to Auckland

The mountains called "The Remarkables" took this snap while waiting to take hire car back 

I found quite a good spot to watch planes take off and land 😊

our shadows standing on a concrete block to get a better view.....

and there goes a plane just past the tree and going past the mountain.....Dad's ashes are up there so a lovely place for him to be 💜

up up and away......

Now at the airport watching others boards their plane 

Woody excited waiting in the bag

he then sat on a table and watched planes taxi by.....made 2 men passing smile lol 

NZ644 is us 

out plane landing

ready for other passengers get off.....

now you of course are going to see lots of flying wing shots lol Woody likes this seat the best 

turning at the end of the runway.....

racing along 

up in the air passing the airport 

great view back down and we sure have had great weather 

beautiful blue water lakes below 

and blue sunny sky with snow capped mountains 😊

but oh dear, as we got close to the North Island....rain....cloud....cool lol 

wings expanding for the landing as we fly through the clouds 

seeing bits of land below once under the cloud 

winging our way over the last bit of sea 

down on the runway

brakes on and always amazing to watch.....

well....hope you liked that little flight and our trip....

still continuing for a little bit yet xoxoxoxo
