There were two important events in October (three if you count my birthday, ha ha) in New Zealand: the final of the World Cup and the wedding of Nicola and Steve. I was privileged to be in the country for both.
Two weeks literally flew by; part of that time was spent with Laura and Mikey in Hamilton and their menagerie and the remainder was in Hastings. I got a true taste of the amount of work it takes to get married in the 21st century.
Speaking of taste, to my surprise, I found myself making the wedding cakes; quite an honour when one thinks of some very 'unique' dishes that came from my kitchen as a newly married woman. Thankfully I have progressed from those days. I do not have a photo on my camera of the finished product. Suffice to say that in spite of making an incredible mess during the process the cakes turned out alright with some help decorating from the bridesmaids. Thank you dear family for hosting me, meeting up with me and visiting me - some from afar - and for making my trip so enjoyable. Unfortunately we are not always able to catch up with everyone, which makes it that much more compelling to visit again.
