So once again it's been a while...

And I have to say its been one heck of a month... again!

Christmas and New Years came and went just like it always does... and long summer holidays from school are now once again drawing to an end...
It's been a hectic time... including a very unexpected trip for the girls and I to Whangarei... My darling Nana Robbie was not doing so well... so we took a trip north to visit her... and so very very glad we did...

I will never forget Anya and Dannielle wandering into Nana's room at the hospital... she had her back to them so it was only when they got right up close to her that she realised they were there... She looked at them in a slightly puzzled way and asked them how they got there... to which Dannielle replied in a quiet little voice "we scootered Nana" before breaking out into a huge smile and heading in for a cuggle...
We spent a week up there... often popping in to visit her either at the hospital or at home... lots of nattering and catching up... lots of cuggles and lots of photos too!  Like she expected anything else from me...

I will treasure this photo always... four generations together... five gorgeous women and girls...

12 days after our return these photos were to be the last precious treasure...

In loving memory of

Ethel Dorothy Robinson

23 December 1925 - 25 January 2012

May she rest in eternal peace.
