Big parties Little island

this weekend we had two causes for celebration...first, 10 "oldies" (heh) turn 60 this year so they had a big bash with 2 bands in the hall. There was a delicious buffet with crayfish...they made their own wine labels for the event...the following day liz and heath were engaged! everyone one came to the pub to share a few glasses of champagne....
if that wasnt enough...a few weeks later was the stewart island singles ball. it was a blast! heh dancing, eating, drinking, merriment all around

mason's revisited

stacey, mel, serena, kate and i went to masons bay this weekend...
the weather was stunning and the sand flies were swarming! masons is on the west coast of the island (the bay where i live is on the east side)
stace and i walked in and the other gals flew over...the pilot gave them a scenic tour and they were able to fly over the gutter.
we had 1 full day to relax and play in the dunes and walked out the following morning. poor mel nearly didnt make it. she had swapped walking boots and caused some gnarly blisters!!! in the end, she survived :)
