Sports...family...sheep!

Saturday morning rugby starring Nephew Ben in the Under-9's

Saturday morning sports is huge in kiwi culture

Then we're away down the road to watch niece, Charlise, competing on the netball court.

Cousin Andrew runs a sheep and beef farm

We got to go out and bring in some sheep (well, ride along anyway!) - real farming stuff!

Cousin Andrew (and dogs!) working the sheep

Gathering pinecones - very hard farm work!

My new friend

The  weekend was spent in Martinborough,  one of our favorite places in the world, with some of our favorite people in the world.  Lots of sheep, kids, talking...and mud!
