3rd of November, 2013

 Here's where we're at on the 3rd November 2013....making our way up the "mountain"

 First to visit and do some work on the tapestry was Hennie, visiting from Winton, Southland. 

On her left is Chloe, who is 12 and lives in Kamo 

 Hennie moved from Holland to New Zealand with her husband Herman 7 years ago as they wanted to be closer to their daughter and grand-daughter.

 Chloe was having a fun "Day Out" with Grandma, Debra (seated far left) and Granddad, Dennis (standing, on left) They're visiting from Queensland, Australia. 

 Herman happily watching his wife, Hennie work on the tapestry.

 More people checking out what's happening...

 This is Madeline Dyer, from Jane Mander Village in Kamo, Whangarei. It was her 87th Birthday on the 27th October and she was enjoying spending the day out with her friends, Dorothy and Martie.

Working on our tapestry makes one very happy!

 Madeline's friend, Dorothy Bartlett from Kensington

 

 The three ladies, all hard at work *smiles*

 Martie Rossouw, also from Jane Mander Retirement Village.

 They said they really enjoyed themselves and all wanted to give me a hug before they left!

 Daryl, (seated on left) was born and raised in Kawakawa, but now living in Melbourne. She is over visiting family and friends Claudine, standing (and watching the progress) and 12 year old daughter, Elleisha-Jade.

Elleisha-Jade was very good at weaving, having just the right tension which is really important in tapestry making. They stayed and chatted for approximately an hour. Thanks for stopping by and working on the Whangarei Tapestry Project. We hope to see you again soon!
