Yesterday on Christine's birthday, Emily arrived home for three weeks. She arrived safely via Hong Kong into Auckland. Anna and Lucy were there to meet her and then go across to McDonalds so Lucy could play. She then boarded for Wellington and Christine meet the 2.00pm flight. Her friend Anna Kerslake had come up from Queenstown for the weekend so they picked her up and arrived back out at Royal St about 5.00pm.
We all had a great curry and a glass or two of pino gris before settling down for the All WHITES game against Bahrain for the chance to qualify to attend the 2010 world cup in South Africa. What a crowd and atmosphere at the Cake tin. Full house of singing, chanting fans bringing the team home 1-0 and the trip to the WORLD CUP.
Today not a particularly pleasant day for the Martinborough wine and food festival. Emily and Anna have left on the 9.30am train to enjoy the day out.
