Auckland part two :-)

So in other Auckland news, I got to catch up with my brother - that's him on the left and my nephew (who features in nearly all my layouts lol) and his fiancee.  Good old Dad cooked a delish roast lamb, and there might have been one or two beers as well.

Now I think I might have inherited my love of animals from Dad!  (That's not to say Mum didn't love animals, because she sure did).  However, Dad has  a pet seagull, that flies on down and spends the day hanging around, pops inside for the odd visit and 'growls' at any other birds that dare to come onto his patch.  He's one very well fed seagull - at one point I was giving him some left overs and he kept shaking his head trying to get them all down!

On one of the days, my lovely sister in law Maureen, and I headed off to Newmarket for a bit of shopping.  Donna had told us to visit Little and Friday and as we needed somewhere for a spot of lunch, we headed there.  Yummo!  And very cool

the way it is set within a fabric

shop.  Worth visiting just to

look at all the gorgeous

material.  I know this is different to the one over the

Shore, no fabric shop with that one.

I took home a raspberry donught as all the reviews said that they were the best thing out.  OMG, if you ever get the chance, you so have to try one - it was devine.

Okay, just like yesterday Blogger is having fun at my expense.  So I will stop here and do one more installment in the next few days!
