Day 82 and 83 - domestic life at St Helen's Homestead cottage, H.S.

We've acquired some new pets here recently; the girls' tadpoles have become teeny-tiny froglets (though they've begun to outstay their welcome now that the magical metamorphosis is over and they're just hopping and snapping up the occasional fly... pond-bound shortly, I suspect) and we're babysitting some calves on one of the paddocks (probably another reason that the froglets are out of favour - after all, would you rather cuddle a calf or a Kermit?)

A quiet couple of days though the pace picked up with the imminent return of daddy, aka Pete, from a Dubai trip.  Ginger biscuits were made ...

including one special one at my request to continue the Kiwiana theme 

before we headed out for a celebratory dinner
