David the Gnome - Nan's Bonnet - Pois and Tomatoes

Not quite the end of things Kiwi.
First, David the Gnome having flown 24000 miles from New Zealand, has made his home in the windmill in the garden of 'The Oaks'. He looks to be an intellectual kind of gentleman and is happy in his sunny home.

On Monday Mum, Joni and I made a visit to Milton Keynes. The first stop was Nan. She seemed well and was looking forward to the Easter bonnet parade on Tuesday. We took her outside to look at the garden and spring things.

Joni won the Scrabble game, but Nan was a close second. Nan then put on her Easter bonnet creation.


From nan's we went to Tim's. We had changed from going to nan on our usual Saturday so that we could also visit our grand daughters and our son Tim. (Does this correct my Facebook error?)

Iona had just had her first skating lesson at X-scape and was still excited about it. Now must come the final Kiwi thing. We had bought the girls a pair of pois each. A poi is a ball on a cord, which is now used as part of a Maori dance presentation. Izzy particularly enjoyed swirling hers, and both settled down with mum to the task of transplanting the tomato seedlings that they had grown from seed. As Tim say, it was a good day.


Finally, I am considering editing my Google picture. Any thoughts.
