I have been tagged ~ riding the luge.

I have been tagged by Sares from Loveleigh Treasures. Thank you.
So I have to share with you, my 6th photo from my 6th photo file and tell you about the photo.

A few years ago we had a wonderful family holiday down in Queenstown, for a week.
I think that Queenstown is one of the most beautiful places in the South Island.
It is a Winter paradise and if you like snow and cold places, this is the place to come to.
There are a lot of beautiful places to ski and we spent the day up the Remarkables, skiing on powder soft snow and under a beautiful clear blue sky.




Anyway, back to the tag photo ~ we had a fun day riding down a luge in a cart which was so much fun. I had just made my first run down and was so exhilarating!




I just had to share one more photo - this is the view from where we were riding the luge. As you can see the view was just amazing and you can see why Queenstown is a popular holiday destination.


I must now tag six of you Divas extraordinaire, to play the game if you want to, I understand if you are too busy.
Here are the tagees.

Leeann fabulously french

Millie the laurel hedge

Piitis Valkoinen pioni

Ni The Bear house

It is almost the weekend ~ I hope that you are having a great week.

DD is having a little party for her Uni friends tonight. She turned 20 back in May
and all her friends were working hard with getting there garments finished.
So now hopefully they can relax and have a nice evening.
Must go and make the meringues and do a lot of things that need doing here.

Hugs

    It was a lot of fun.
    Valetino and kids went so fast but I prefered to go a little slower and lag behind.
    Hope you have a great weekend too.

  4. Oooh, this may be very dangerous Carolyn, but I'd love to play! You looked as though you were having such a good time luging. And that pic of Queenstown is breath-taking. I had my 18th birthday there when we were back-packing around. Those were the days! Happy weekend.

  6. Thank you for visiting, Kim.

    Also many thanks for telling me about your giveaway TattingChic. I would like to come on over.
    It was fun riding the luge.

    Hi Millie,

    Look forward to seeing your 6th photo, it will be fun.
    Queenstown is a picturesque place and would have been a neat town, for an 18 year old to be backpacking around there.

    Oh goodie Jodie, glad that you are going to play along.
    I look forward to coming over to see your photo.

    I must now go and get ready - daughter has some friends coming and I have been baking and preparing all day.

    Hugs

  8. It looks beautiful there. I don't know if I would enjoy the whole luge experience though. I don't usually feel the need for speed! It does look like you had a great time! Thanks for playing along and sharing your photos!

  9. Hi Ni,

    Glad that you want to play along and I look forward to seeing what delightful photo you share with us.

    Hi Sares,

    thank you for choosing me to play along. Always fun looking through old photo files.
    I had my foot on the brake quite a lot going down and just let my family race ahead.

  10. Carolyn I am running with this idea:

    Your family from a long time ago was from Scotland.

    My mother was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and lived there until she was 19 and was a war bride and moved to Canada.

    So I think we are family, we must be cousins.

    Goodnight dear cousin.

    Love Renee xoxox

  11. Oh how sweet Renee, I would so love to be your Cousin.

    Nighty night and sweet dreams.

    Sending hugs & love
