squeezing the lemon...making the most of the summer sun

We had a very family weekend. Saturday morning dawned foggy but at 10am we downed tools and headed for Taylors. The whole day was pretty weird because there were banks of fog hanging around in odd places.

This is Sumner under the cloud. It pretty much hung around on and off all day and when we went to L and Julian's for his birthday bbq, it was very thick and cool there. Odd but very interesting.

Sunday we headed off to Akaroa with my family to spend the day with Alison, my mothers lovely cousin from Sydney. Stopping at the Littler River gallery on the way for our art fix we then camped out on the water front in Akaroa for the rest of the day. There was swimming, shopping, lovely food and play ground activity.

On the way home in the very late afternoon, I indulged myself in a bit of 'out of the window' photographic activity which is really fun and you never know what you are going to get. Jonty doesn't want me to publish his nasal hair shots so here are some more tasteful snaps.

Hope you all had a good weekend too. I am sure if it was anything like ours there is a mountain of washing, gardening and housework still waiting to be atteneded to.
