One Year!

One year ago today we moved onto the farmlet.

Ours now!

Ours now!

Last night, us residents celebrated with fish and chips. The Forbearing Husband suggested this meal. He sold it as commemorating the pioneering spirit of those who left the city, knowing not what quality of takeaway food they might encounter. He does have a tendency toward the melodramatic.

Fortunately for all concerned the local chippy puts on a good show. All but for the potato fritters, which are sad reconstituted packet versions. Never mind, the overall F&C quality is consistently fabulous.

Thank goodness, otherwise it’s possible the Forbearing Husband would have trucked himself straight back to Auckland.

Here’s to the start of Year Two.

  1. Hear Hear, I hope you ate a chip or two for those of us who couldn’t be there.

  2. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary? hope there are/ will be bubbles to go with the F & Cs?

    • No bubbles yet, but I think that is a great idea. I will promote it as also being part of the pioneering spirit.

  3. Very important responsibility for pioneers to have their rituals and traditions.

  4. You can always count on RWC when it comes to takeaways. 🙂 Good on you RWC!! DON’T do bubbles without us!
