and after coffee, dessert!


Let me know when you can head south to Latitude 41 degrees. I am sure we would demolish all the tarts made by Patissier Max @ La Cloche, Kaiwharawhara.

A tale of two kitties



We have adorable 10 month old kittens living under our office. Their mother had 5 kittens, taught them to hunt in the shadow of a cathedral, then vanished with 3 of her progeny. The two who were left behind we have tried to catch, without success. So we are very content to feed them and try to tame them a little. They are completely adorable boys who we have named after the first Bishop of Wellington Octavius Hadfield. The photos are blurred because they were taken on massive zoom. I also have a sprained wrist, which makes holding something still really difficult. So introducing Octavius and Hadfield.

Only in the upmarket suburb of Parnell would you buy a designer bird table for your designer balcony on your designer villa.
