First paddle

Nina,14 months old went to the beach at Le Bons Bay, Akaroa with her mum & dad & grandparents over the Christmas holidays.
Our great granddaughter enjoyed her little paddle.
She has started walking everywhere now & we get a video every morning from New Zealand which helps when we can’t go & see her.
Just loved her happy face.

Three good things:
1. The electrician called in this afternoon to check on the three jobs still to be done.
2. The joiner has also messaged me, do we want three sliding doors or four on our fitted wardrobes …decisions, decisions!
3. Another person knocked at our door this morning to ask where we bought our windows from…..we are a great source of info for everyone building or renovating! We bring them in & show what we’ve done…everyone is very interested.

This is the sweetest image of your little cutie. She will be getting faster and faster on those little legs!

[Carole Sandford]

What a sweet smile! She does look as if she is enjoying herself!

[Maggiemae]

What a gorgeous little outfit she is wearing. To provide protection from the sun too!

In your tags, Pat - if you put speech marks at each end on a phrase or series of words, it keeps them together.

Aw so cute. She brings so many happy memories of when my son lived in the UK and came to visit with his daughter in the first years of her life. Very often it used to be Summer and we took her straight to the beach.
