Our Gracious Kerikeri Hosts

We ended our stay in the Northland with a lot of driving. We drove north in and out of many beautiful bays and beaches. Throughout our stay up here, we have been so fortunate to have such a wonderful and warm home to call our home base. Don and Jill Cottle have been such gracious hosts, we don't know how to thank them enough. After our day of sailing, we came home to a lovely leg of lamb dinner, and this one's for you Harry - some fabulous 'pav' for dessert. It's a meringue dish, that you cover with cream, ice cream and fresh NZ fruit. Yum. Don insisted that we post this picture to make Harry jealous and to get Harry and Marge to come out for another visit....


And here is a look at those oranges we were talking about. Keith wanted to pick "a few" to take with us when we left....50 pounds and who knows how many oranges later, we were off (I might be exaggerating a bit, but he sure picked a lot!!)
