The Wedding!


The long awaited wedding of Mr and Mrs McKenzie!! The ceremony was held at the Holy Sepulchre Church on Khyber Pass and the reception out at Villa Maria winery. There will probably be more photos added later as these are just what was on my camera.
Neeshy's Kitchen Tea

Before Neeshy got married we held a kithen tea for her. A yummy afternoon tea, some bubbles and lots of kitchen pressies for her.

Abbey, Neesh, myself and Karin (bride and bridesmaids)

Weekend at The Mount - 16-18th February

Fleur, James, Philip and I drove down to Mouth Manganui to spend the weekend with Roz and Tim. The four of us camped out at the camping ground at the base of the mountain and Roz and Tim joined us for Saturday night. Basicall we spent the weekend catching up, swimming, walking up the mount, eating, drinking and relaxing!

Hens Weekend


Well we had to give Neeshy a fabulous last girls weekend away before she entered married life so we all headed up to her family farm near Kerikeri, about 4 hours north of Auckland. Friday night we arrived quite late so had bubbles and mudcake while we watched the bride to be open her 'naughty or nice' pressies.



Saturday we went to Marsden Estate Winery for some winetasting followed by some lunch. We then headed back to the farm where we spent the afternoon relaxing, drinking wine and later in the afternoon we made up some big platters. We launched into the evening with a few games and a few more bubbles. Needless to say it was Neeshy's undoing as she was in bed by 10pm!
