Ali is busy as she gets to grips with her teaching job, with the usual challenges of settling in 'new entry' (reception) class children into school. On Saturday monings we find ourselves taking the boys to football pitches around the city and surrounding countryside. Saturday sport seems to be so much bigger here than it was in the UK. It seems as though the majority of children are playing, fooball, rugby, hockey, cricket or netball on a Saturday morning. It's great to see every blade of grass covered in players of all ages.
With being so busy we haven't really got out at the weekend and I've been stuck in the office at work. But yesterday afternoon we went for a walk on Godley Head at the seaward end of the Port Hills to have a look at the old WW2 gun emplacements that were positioned to protect the approaches to Lyttleton Harbour and also the beaches to the north. below is a 'gunner's eye view' and one of the gun emplacements.
Looking back up Lyttleton Harbour, we has the view below.
So there we are, a short and sweet update just to let you know that all is well but we seem to be very busy. As we approach the anniversary of arriving in New Zealand on 1 August, I will probably draw the blog to a close or change its focus.And finally... well done to Blackpool for promotion to the Premiership (Dad is in a state of shock!)
Take care and God Bless
