Janines first cricket match

This Saturday Hanna had a summer BBQ without a BBQ. It was fun to meet her friends and share a few drinks on her sun deck. True to Waddington form she provided a great buffet.  We contributed a cake and some peanut butter cookies, which are my speciality now.

Mary Berry would be proud - no soggy bottom here

I had been bugging Janine about the the England cricket tour to New Zealand since before we arrived here. The first match was a Saturday evening T20 in Eden Park, I persuaded her to go. Cam and Bec also joined us, in the hope that the BlackCaps would win and make up for the poor NZ performance in the Rugby Sevens the previous weekend. It didn't and England hammered New Zealand by 40 runs. We thoroughly enjoyed the game and the atmosphere was great. Janine admitted she enjoyed it more than she thought she would. Here are some pics from the game, Janine's camera has a really good zoom so we were also entertained trying to capture the perfect shot.

Great seats

A six?

Worst mascot ever! - Who thought a cash point was a good idea
