Flowers For Mimi

Rain, rain and more rain! That's what is happening here. The last few days we have been staying close to home, although we did drive to Plimmerton last night as we were invited to an election night party. Since arriving in New Zealand we have been inundated with election information, every day in the newspaper and every night on the television. Well, thank goodness, it's over as voting was yesterday and last night the winning party was announced. We found our way to Plimmerton (about 40 minutes drive) on a dark and very gloomy night but ended up having a lovely time meeting the locals and watching the election results with them.

No photos from me but this one was emailed from my daughter in Canberra. This is my little granddaughter inspecting the daffodils yesterday at the Canberra Floriade, Australia's biggest celebration of Spring, an annual event since 1988. As we are off to Canberra in 10 days time, hopefully we will get a chance to visit Floriade and see the displays.

  1. Our elections are upcoming in November, Mimi, so I can relate. Hope all turned out as you planned.
