Ladies + Toddler's Weekend Out

The weekend before last, Mr B packed his camping gear and set off to the annual Rails Camp, down in Wellington. Meanwhile my lovely mother-in-law had a conference in Auckland to attend and invited me along for a Girl's weekend, acommpanied with my sister-in-law and her (almost) three-year-old. Here are a few photos from our adventures:

Snapdragon's braised short-rib on the bone with bourbon and prune glaze. Much smaller than it appears in the photo, but incredibly moreish.

... after 4 hours of shopping, who can blame him? :P

Photos taken at the Auckland Arts Festival at Aotea Square. The colourful flags were 'peace flags' which kids were invited to decorate and hang.

Great weather, fine company and fun memories to be had.
