we packed our bags and headed to Arrowtown on Friday evening...
woke early Saturday morning and had a long lovely walk by the Arrow river
and then packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Gibbston valley with good friends, food and wine, terrific combination..
and listened to Dr Hook and Credence Clearwater ... what a blast from the past, do you remember their music??
and this guy, Ray Sayer from Dr Hook, is like 72!! Can you believe the energy of this man, jumping around the stage at his age, FABULOUS!!!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
Followed by a marvellous dinner in Arrowtown at
Saffron, honestly, I tell you, this is the best restaurant ever, the food is to die for, Superb!!! They have the most super recipe book, but beats me why you would try and recreate when you can eat there, Tim had the oysters a-la kilpatrick style, I had a morrocan fish tangine, Matt had a 3 curry dish, and I can't remember what Linda had, but oh my gosh, talk about food heaven!
and on a more sedate note, I managed to get lots done over the weekend, a bit of knitting.. haven't done any of this in a while but the bug has bit me again... getting ready for those crisp cold Twizel winter days mayhaps??
and a bit of reading... finding it a bit hard to get into really..
and a lot of stitching, this is my
'tis the season' stitcheries for the stitch-along, just started...
sitting in the car for many hours travelling gets quite a bit of stitching done..
and I managed to get several blocks for
Life is Beautiful done,I am running this as a BOM via
The Rowan Tree
... and several more drawn up,
weekends are great, I hope you had a super one too!
