we're back

Good morning all! Its very early as we are still getting used to being the right way up again! Coming back from downunder NZ has its drawbacks - but we'll get there!

Just wanted to share a few photos that we had done by photographers whilst out there. The first ones are from Hamner springs - our favourite place!!!





Next our pictures from the antartic centre....



those penguins are so very cute!!! We went on a backstage penguin encounter and got very close to one little penguin called Nick - all the little blue penguins at the centre are rescue penguins - Nick was rescued from a shark attack - in the nick of time - hence the name - he had one toe missing!

Finally the christchurch gondola...


it was a great place to visit indeed! The views at the top were just amazing!

Image may contain: 2 people, people standing, mountain, sky, ocean, outdoor, nature and water

No more NZ pics now - I promise! Back to the crafting world asap!!!

Big hugs
