On Friday we flew to Christchurch to visit Rachel and John and their family at the their new house at Lincoln. It was great to have a beer on the patio in the evening and catch-up.
By our Hong Kong standards, their new house and its garden is palatial. We stayed in one of the guest bedrooms down in the west-wing.
It was great to see the family: Claire and William...
Meg the dog...
the 2 new kittens : Skyla and Walta....
and the chickens...
I didn't get a photo of Sophie (or the gold-fish). But I did get a spectacular rainbow.
Hannah loved playing with Claire again, and enjoyed the trampoline in the garden.
On Saturday we headed down to the local market. I bought a half-dozen perfectly ripe avocados and some local Pinot Noir and made guacamole for snacks.
We also visited the gym where William practices his snowboard tricks on a big trampoline. He has become pretty skillful.

On Sunday Rachel gave the kids easter-eggs.
The highlight for Hannah was playing with Claire and the adorable kittens.
...especially once she learnt to hold them by the scruff of the neck and make them go limp.
Since then I've been under intense and sustained pressure to buy Hannah a kitten.
