It's the weekend!

Pretty pink blooms for the weekend


Blue skies, sparkly sea and hot summer days are here, brings everyone over to the little Island. 
 
Oneroa Bay is a popular spot for boaties to enjoy

What we have found that after Conde Nast Traveller, placed Waiheke the fourth best Island in the world it has become a popular holiday destination. The ferries have become so busy and what is normally a peaceful little place has changed remarkably. 
Little Oneroa beach

We are going out to a long French themed lunch with a group of friends and everyone is doing a course each so should be fun.

It is the weekend, hope you have a lovely weekend 
hugs
Carolyn

  16. Dearest Carolyn,
    Love that covered dish luncheon concept of each bringing a course. That works out very well. In Europe it is not common but here in the USA we do that a lot.
    Lovely photos from your summer.
    We are enjoying our spring as things start blooming more and more.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  19. There's those beautiful roses again! I think it's the prettiest color of Pink roses that I've seen! The Bay is a nice place to visit with friends for the day. I can't believe it's summer there, and it's raining so much here!
