Sightseeing and sewing

On Saturday the youth group travelled to Te Aroha, about a 1.5 hour drive, for a tramp up Mount Te Aroha which is 952m to the summit.  The group didn't go all the way to the summit, instead walking to a lower look-out about 45 minutes each way.

I was lucky enough to enjoy a hot drink with a beautiful view with good conversation and get some sewing done while the kids tramped!! 

View from the cafe
After a swim in the hot pool and dinner of barbequed sausages with hot chips, we headed home.  It was a really nice outing, the kids had a ball!

On the sewing front, I have completed block 5 of the Boys Story quilt.
I am still unable to leave comments on most blogs but I am enjoying reading them!  I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend., Wendy

  1. I love your newest block! I have been having touble with leaving comments too, if it doesn't work I have found I can use the name/url selection instead. Which I will have to do to leave this comment.

  2. Hi Wendy, what lovely pictures, sounds like a fun trip. Your Boys Story block is awesome! I read somewhere that when Google asks you to sign in each time, that if you don't tick "keep signed in" that it should work. I've been having mixed results leaving comments for the last few days too. Very frustrating!

  5. What a fabulous place to sit and stitch. Think I might have been distracted by the view... and the cafe! ;) I'm chomping at the bit to get my Boys Story started... hopefully this week. Still loving your blocks!
