Timaru

Beep, Beep, Beep! Zooming down around the loop honking our horn is one of my favorite things about Timaru.

Unfortunately Timaru was not as welcoming as Ashburton, we were greeted by grey cloudy skies and stuttering rain. The rain continued all weekend and on Sunday we had to cancel our shows. We did not mind though, it was nice to have a break.

The weekend was the usual play, music and laughter with a couple of hours in the pool added in.

On Monday we trucked off to Waimate with my friend cashlym who came with us for the week. We went to the tame wallaby park where we fed and patted Wallabies. The next day Dad went out and shot two wild ones, he didn’t get much support on that!

Mother and Joey!

Cashlym and I made the best ever Lemon meringue pie. Yum!

Good team effort on a multi part recipe!
Really sensational!

Wednesday saw us heading for Elephant rocks. The unique limestone rock formations a great place for hide and seek.

After a fun filled few hours we headed for Oamaru and parked up in the Victorian precinct.

I love Omaru. The old limestone buildings make me feel like i have traveled back in time. Mum gave Cashlym and I $20 and we went off on our own to explore the precinct. On our trip we visited Purple, she kindly gave us three pairs of steam punk high heels.

I am looking fowards to dressing up for this weekends steam punk themed Extravaganza!

Caroline bay in Timaru.

After our Christchurch and Ashburton fairs we rolled on to Timaru. If you ever go to Timaru I strongly recommend visiting Caroline bay down by the port.

To get there you have to drive the loop. A very fascinating  piece of road indeed. The loop allows you to quickly descend down to water level from the town above the cliffs. We set up the extravaganza  in a park right in the middle of the loop. Dad beeped the trucks horn the whole way up around the loop when we left. It was very EMBARRASSING!
Our cousin Ijann joined us for our Ashburton and Timaru fairs. He enjoyed making bubbles almost as much as he hated my cuddles!

Caroline bay itself is a wonderful piece of art. Theres the cool glass elevator and the quaint rose garden and of course you cant forget the
huge playground with the awesome slide and then there is the bird avery with all kinds of exotic and brilliant birds! Last but not least there is the beach, soft sands, gently lapping waves and great for swimming in the summer.

Opps! I almost forgot about the snails! They live among the rocks and early in the morning you can see their silvery slimmey trails. A tell tail sign that they have been there.
