WELLINGTON HERE WE COME

 


We are off to windy Wellington today.
We decided to pop on down and take a dear friend of ours out to lunch.  She has been semi housebound for a LONG time due to illness, so I'm sure she will enjoy going out with us.  We are riveting company after all!  *snort*
Wellington is supposed to get VERY WINDY this morning, and wet in the afternoon.
So that should be fun.  Nothing new for Wellington.
I am hoping we get to drive around the coast road too, as I love seeing the sea all rough and stormy.
We are hoping to get away around 8-9 am, so that we have time to pop into Foxton's fabric shop on the way down.
IF we get time, we might be able to stop in at Waikanae on the way back as well, apparently there's a fabric shop there worth visiting as well.  It's certainly one I've not been to before.
So, today is going to be lovely.
Seeing KJ and shopping.
Catch ya later.


...
MICHELE W, LOIS, JANENE, ROSE and any other Palmy friends... you are welcome to visit us at Bella Vista this evening! We'd love to see you!! Sandra, Chris and Anne..  you too. 😉

ABOVE: Well that's the Foxton shop done. Such LOVELY ladies in there. I found some gorgeous fabrics, got an awesome discount AND they gave me some free fabric too!
Off to the next one now. 😊😃

ABOVE: Another successful stop. 😊

And now we are off to see KAREN.

Safely at Karen's having a yak before heading out for lunch.

    So it was you and Stew I saw driving south this morning ...just before Longburn :-) I recognised the number plate. Have the best day out, regardless of the nasty weather. Enjoy your time down here, if you have five minutes, let me know. Would be lovely to catch up. Michele

    I always order EXTRA HOT milk for hot chocolate, I agree, nothing worse than luke warm milk. I don’t care that these baristas say the milk will be burnt blah blah, I am paying, I’d like it hot please. Marie, Melbourne

      Order extra hot beverages, in order for it to be hot, I agree.

    Hi, Chris! I have commented before but I never know if it's under the same name..GAA! I'm old and technology is beyond me! Anyway, my name is Nancy, I'm in Illinois, US and have followed you for 20+ yrs. OK> enough history! I'm just stopping by to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year. I love following all of your adventures and must admit I am a "shopaholic" like you, but I'm 82 so Amazon tends to get most of my business (wow, just found some gorgeous pillowcases, I can't resist)! Have a wonderful Holiday season! *did you know it's supposed to be 70 degrees here in Carlinville for Chistmas? Wow..our snow will all melt!
