Up she goes

Well, the weather forecast was fairly scary (incidentally, Queenstown is looking like flooding today), but it could have been a whole lot worse (we ended up with drizzle here and there, mild temperatures, and not too much wind).  Graeme and the team from Natural Log Homes managed to get 50 tons of logs into position in 2 days flat, leaving only another half day of tweaking to be done. Absolutely amazing to witness!  Mark is already getting rafters up, so it’s going to be a busy couple of months more keeping up with the speed of progress.  Mark reckons the tuning fork post on the veranda would make a great gun-rest – there are certainly a lot of bunnies around up there at the minute.

The force is strong in these ones

Ollie's Star Wars birthday party. Darth Vader got a seriously good poking with all those light-sabres.

Last twilight race of the year

And an enjoyable experience it's been this summer. Thanks Captain Trevor!
