What did you two make in the kitchen ivy and I just love the sun umbrella Well I am nearly ashamed to say what I did!! Usually (every day) I have great ideas and I go and make them. Today I tried to make lavender & honey meringues! Sounds very good but to repeat the words of my daughter: They taste like potpurri! or kind of like air freshner! It was a total flopp and they didn't even get hard. I guess because I used honey instead of sugar. Don't worry I haven't given up on the idea. Next time I want to try cinnamon ones! LOL Hahahahaha IVY - taste like potpurri. Tabby looks very pretty Ivy - you have such a wonderful eye for taking photos. Awwww love the gorilla - I have this stuffed panda which is almost falling part which I use to support me while I sit up in bed - I've been sleeping with this teddy everyday for almost 20 years - my partner is very jealous of the little fellow because he is not aloud on the floor. (poor bugger) Thank you Leigh ;D

(poor bugger) Thank you Leigh ;D Hello Certegy! Yes I love to lay on my gorilla too. He is my big cuddly pillow sitting on my tv bed. When children come they have something to play with. Sometimes I stuff him in the washing machine and dryer and he seems not to mind at all.

Tabetha had some fun in the kitchen with IvyPlus brewing the Gin today, then she went and sat out on the path... "Oh hello Oscar, nice to meet you!", said Tabetha. "Meeeow", said Oscar. "Hehe, that tickles!", said Tabetha. Tabetha was helping to pick the raspberries this afternoon. "Yumbo, I love raspberries", she said. "Phew, what a long day, time to chill out."

Good morning precious I can't believe you have been away for one whole week. This is the first time you have ventured so far from me since aunty Issy gave you to me all those years ago. Me and dad have been working long hours and I notice an empty space on your chair where you sat everyday. It looks as if you are having a great time with aunty Ivy and uncle Kim - ooooh what journeys await you when you meet the rest of your aunties and uncles around New Zealand. I hope you are being helpful to your host family, I see you have made lots of new friends and I'm sure your book is going to be full of memories. What was it like riding on skippy? She is a very pretty cow, I love her big brown eyes. I hope you're not eatting your host family out of house and home, remember your manners little one. I know two little birds who are looking forward to also meeting you - there names are Joey and Poppy - I have been watching them grow up online. It's been raining down here in Christchurch and me and dad will be working through Christmas but just wanted to let you know that we miss you very much and we will share your journey with the rest of our network. Will see you online soon. Mum ;D

Today Tabetha has had another busy day. It started with the invitation from Big Heinz to go for a walk and have a T party. Tabetha was excited especially when she heard little Rosie will be joining them too. Ready, lets go!!! WAIT!!!!!!! Where is Rosie….. HERE I AM!!! “Rosie you clever little bear” said Tabetha She was down just as quick as she was up! “Rosie come and hold my hand” Said Tabetha Heinz holds down the fence for the Girls to get across…..what a gentle man….I mean Bear. The Bears first stop is at the Cottage where they meet some more friends. Even Oscar comes and pops out and says hi. “Bye bye” Says Oscar as her friends leave. Not long after they left the cottage, Rosie got very tired…. Tabetha too. So lovely Heinz offered to carry them in his already filled basket. Next they stopped to say hi to Skippy as she eats the lush green grass down the back. "Afternoooooooooooooon Ladies, and Heinz" Said Skippy “Bye Skippy, see you later” They all called as they left Rosie was extremely happy to finally arrive at the "shack in the back" as she was busting to go to the toilet. While Tabetha and Rosie went to the ladies, Heinz got the tea ready. MMMMMmmmmm, Honey tea, exactly what bears LOVE. After a long chat, enjoying the sights, and resting, it was time for them all to go back home. This time Heinz organised his backpack the ladies were able to hold on tight and enjoy the view. He carried them all the way home. “THANK You so much Heinz” said Rosie and Tabetha When they got home it was time for Rosie to have a little sleep, “What a big day, for such a little bear” said Heinz. Rosie and Heinz tucked Rosie into bed and gave her a big kiss. Tabetha then went on the net to check YOP, and read the letter her mum wrote. Because it is hard for bears to type (paws and all) she only read it, but with a big smile on her face. Tabetha was very tired and decided to go and cuddle up with Sherry for a little while. ;D Sherry just LOVES Tabetha
