A few weeks ago we purchased a grab one voucher to go punting on the Avon River.  Today we headed off to a market in the morning and then into town to use our voucher.  What a wonderful way to spend a day.  And just quietly I'm starting to wonder if winter has decided it's done it's dash and that spring may actually be here...I know that spring still means the odd cold snap, but with so many spring flowers out, buds on the trees and warm enough weather for shorts and t-shirts, then surely this must be true :-)


Well it's back to work tomorrow, refreshed and looking forward to a new term.  Looking forward to a weekend in Nelson a couple of weeks into the new term...

Have a wonderful week everyone.

I've been wondering that about spring myself, but I'm a bit scared to say it out loud:)

Well you picked a lovely day to go punting. Spring must be early and even saw lambs in the paddocks yesterday. Roll on Scrapfest. :)

How beautiful - what a lovely outing and a great way to spend the day. Oh, and I agree with you about Spring ... I'll be quite happy to be right about Winter having done its dash!
