Today I attended the Randstad How to be a Successful Reliever workshop from which I will get a certificate. Then after lunch we went to the cinema to watch Toy Story 3 now our fave of the 3:-)

Washpen Falls

Today we made the most of the continuing sun and went to Washpen falls about one hours drive from Christchurch. It is on private land and there is an honesty box where you put $10 pp (if you have change had to go knocking on there door for some!!) in for track guide and walking sticks. Was a great walk with awesome views and a hidden gem at the end - a lake with dining area:-)

We also bought a jar of honey which they made from the local bees for $5

Day Out

Today we made the most of the sun and drove to Ashley Gorge via Oxford and had a picnic before driving back to Oxford where we had a coffee and walk around town.

 

On the way back we stopped at a gorge and took some pics then drove home- a good day out:-)
