The Relatives from Ireland

Dinner at Sky Tower




I can't believe that Mick and Bett have been and gone, it had been 10 years since we had seen them last, at our wedding in London, so we had a lot of catching up to do.

They hadn't met Emma, Paddy or Georgie before so it was fantastic that they finally got to see them.

Auckland really turned on the weather for them as well, hot and sunny - just beautiful.


Dinner at Tony's Restaurant (Yet another meal!)

We had lots of laughs talking about when John and his brothers were growing up, and the holiday's they all had back in Ireland. They bought over a few photo's and I can't believe the clothes they used to wear, how short were mini skirts back in the days, and how flared were the pants/jeans? The waistbands they were up around the armpits!! I am just as guilty, the fashion was just the same in NZ!!

John took them out and about to see the sights of Auckland, but we mainly did lots of eating, Bett was brilliant at puddings, and we had one almost every night, my poor waist I think expanded several cms!!


John, Mick, Bett, Lizzie and Pat



So after 2 weeks they headed off to Fiji for a bit of tropical paradise before heading back home to Ireland, we had a fantastic time with them here and I hope they did too.
