About the house

Its been a funny old time in our house. Mainly because we have been painting and fixing up the place and because we are doing that we are living in a sort of in between state. EV takes it all in her stride of course.

If you have ever lived in NZ you would know about our Feijoas. These are a fruit that thrives in our climate and most people grow up with a tree or two at home or at least at a neighbours or family members house. I grew up eating Feijoas from my Nana and Grandad's lawn. We are lucky to have a tree in our garden and it has produced the most amazing fruit this year. EV and I have been collecting them by the basket full (laundry basket!) and have been giving them away and eating a few ourselves. Dada loathes them so more for us!
Shaking the tree before you pick up the Feijoas is a good idea.

EV striding in our newly weeded back garden. Probably looking for the monkeys' who hide in the bananas. Actually she looks to be making a beeline for the feijoa tree.

EV playing in the shelves while Dada sands them ready for painting. Her style choice of underpants over tights was her own. Just goes to show that you are never too young to dress in the fashion of a superhero.
