Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Greetings one and all, decided i had a free few minutes to update our things are going in our neck of the woods. Our 18 th wedding anniversary went well.My hubby dav and i had our first night away in five years without kids. We went to a place called Hanmer Springs.This is a thermal springs made into a great tourist spot. You soak in amazing hot pools with the souther alps covered in snow.The pools are about 40 degress celious dont know the conversion (sorry chaps).The air temp in summer can be upto 38 degress celious.Mid winter -6. We fially got away by 11.30 saturday.-jane was screaming as we pulled away dav and i nearly turned back. We got about an hour our of our city and a ride on lawn mower nearly became a flattened by us.The stupid driver pulled out of a side Rd without looking and dav thankfully had great reflexes and we had to cross to the otherside of the road into on comming traffic nearly rolled our van. We didnt and didnt actually hit anything but i had this great burning sensation all through my body.(it was too close for comfort. We have a wind here in newzealand called a nor wester.Its only bad here on our canturbury plans.Well guess what decided to blow gale force yep the norwester.Our van is a 8 seater people mover which is high sided, eekkk i got a bit nervous there a few times. But as we got closer to our naughty night away the winds died down. We arrived to drizzel but that didnt damper our spirits.We got our cabin and it was quite neat.The veiw from the bedroom window wonderful. we headed off to the pools three hours later we climbed out of the pool.Next door to the camping ground we visited a beautiful pub.The atmisphere was family but so elegant.we umm and haaa re dining there then we thought no. went and brought fishn chips and drove up a neat valley. PArked in a walking area had tea and fed the birds hand fed them it was so nice.The sun dispite it being 7.00 at night the sun shone through. Dav and i walked hand in hand along a loverly stream.There were birds calling there nightly song and the veiws were magical. we headed back to the pub had a couple of beeers then back to the unit. I couldnt get over i could sit for 10minutes without kids going mummy can i? mummy she hit me!!!I waited to hear these thiings nothing. Dav and i had crackers and a selection of cheese then scorched armonds, the rest you dont need to know lol!!!!!! Morning dawned bright and loverly. we went back to the pools for another couple of hours.Got home about 1.30 it was over oh to quikerly!!!!. And guess what that night vicki became really ill and had a bleed from the one and only kidney she has.It settled but we found out rsd has gone there tooo. Buggar! Monday came and went with mum having another mild stroke. finally got dav to come with me to see -janes phycologist, we get their and dam i was a day early. wednesday found out the bumped to my hand last week has torn two ligments in my hand.So was bandaged up. Thursady evening vicki was back to drs pain attack or spasm as we now know its called. We didnt sleep till 2am thatnight. Then saturday(last night i fed 30 people here) a barbecue.It went well except it ws too cold to eat outside thankgoodness my house is big! it was a loverly night. But it turned sour as zoe became really ill and i dint sleep last night. Looks like she has measles!! Nice rash high temp which started last night with massive heavey cold comming out of the blue!
