NELSON WEEKEND TO VISIT NAN

Michael's mum, Estelle, has recently been rather ill, so a weekend up there to visit with her was a good idea.

There are three siblings: Betty, Doug and Estelle.

Betty is the eldest, and lives in Nelson.

Doug is, as they said, 'the meat in the sandwich' and is next. He lives in Australia.

Estelle is the 'baby', and lives in Nelson.

Estelle was rather up and down during the weekend, as she is still getting all her myriad of medication sorted out.

Michael and I went and visited Betty, who had Doug staying with her.

Laurie Henderson made this crocodile nut cracker YEARS ago! SUCH intricate work!

Brock's wife, Sarah was staying in Nelson for the weekend also.

She stayed with her grandparents, and her mother came down from Paraparaumu.

So it was a little family re-union!   

I met them at Richmond Mall for afternoon tea.

Myself, Sarah and Karina (Sarah's mum).

Grandma Pat, Sarah and Karina. Three generations.

Not to forget - Granddad Gordon!

Mike carving the Sunday roast.

(Thank's Paul, it was BEAUTIFUL beef!)

Heath and Nan!

A good old reminisce!

Doug came to stay for a few days.   

The three siblings! 

 The 'meat in the sandwich'. 

He has been SO good to his sisters helping them with loads of 'man jobs'!
