A WEEKEND WITH GRAN

We ventured down to Whakatane for Gran's 79th birthday! We spent a great weekend in the BOP sun (most of the time!) - early Saturday morning coffee and scones on arrival, a little shopping, walks, a picnic lunch, Andre Rieu (Gran's fav at the moment!), a fantastic birthday celebration and reuniting with family, an afternoon at the beach, helping around Gran's property, a date night for R and L (the movies:-)), lots of laughs and much more.
A yummy cake and, as always with Gran, flowers.

The grandchildren (a few of them, anyway!)



Beautiful weather and fun at the beach.

**Creative cousins**
Two beautiful girls!
A lengthy 'man' talk between uncle and nephew!
Another creative cousin!

Thanks for having us all, Gran. We love you and are very blessed to have such a wonderful example of a mother, gran and great-gran.

Great photos, R! Particularly stunning hairstyle of S I thought! Not sure how pleased she would be!! Haha! Lovely cousie pics. The cake looked great - like something out of a mag.
A good time was had by all. So enjoyed meeting up again down there.
