Well another week closer to Christmas. Spent the weekend over at Waiheke. I went over on Friday with a friend, who hadn't seen the bach for a while. Went for a long walk round the coast to Oneroa via Blackpool, browsed the shops including op shops, where I managed to find a couple of nice Crown Lynn cups and saucers with an autumnal pattern, and a silver sugar bowl (with silver mark, I think). Had lunch at the deli and dinner at Bowlers in the evening. Sad to say the standard has slipped with new caterers but it was better than cooking and the drinks were cheap. Saturday we walked to the Ostend Market and I bought some preserves to give away as presents, in lieu of making my own. Seem to have run out of steam and have yet to make any Christmas goodies. Today just may be the day to make that Quark Stollen.
