October already!!

It's hard to believe we are in October already, I feel like it should still be July August.... this is how my garden looked three weeks ago....
my Wisteria & weeping Cherry looking so lovely.....

Two weeks ago I went over to Queenstown NZ with Daniel (#1) & Kate(#3) to visit with Victoria (#2) and her fiance Karl, we were there for a week & Stephen (DH) came over just for 3 days, it was a very busy week visiting Arrowtown and Wanaka,  eating and drinking at Jack's Point golf course.... 

Amisfield winery, Winnies - great...no the best pizza place anywhere, the Botswana Butchery in a private dining room mind you.... a lunchtime cruise on the TSS Earnslaw ... original steamship.... over to Walter Peak High Country Farm for a bbq and sheepdog/shearing demo.... a fun afternoon..... and the Wakatipu grill restaurant at the Hilton hotel across the lake,   boys  went lungeing, Daniel & Karl did a bungi jump each ( very entertaining lol...).....
 the highlight of the trip was the engagement/30th/farewell party for Victoria & karl on the Friday night .....(Vic was 30 on Sept 15 & karl turns 30 in Nov).... which was held in a gorgeous little boutique hotel with us and lots of their friends....

Enough of my travels...... I have been doing lots of sewing mainly cross-stitch, finished the trees on my Birchpoint....

Victoria & Karl are coming for one night on Thursday then they are flying over to Bali for ten days to attend a girlfriends wedding, then we are going to Cairns the following Friday and coming home on the Monday and meeting Vic & Karl at the airport and all coming home together for them to stay a week with us then they will fly back to NZ and we will fly over to Mount Maunganui for another long weekend the Melbourne cup weekend in Nov to meet Vic's inlaws..... and I should get some good sewing time with all this travel.........so life is very busy at our house.......
