Wow, February already.
The children have started back at school and I am in full swing with my Embroidery duties both personal and as a Committee member at my local Guild.
Of course it was the school holidays and we had visitors for a week which was great fun, but it meant I didn't complete as much as I'd wished to. We went on some fabulous family excursions around our beautiful city of Dunedin.
These are some of the places we visited...
Tunnel Beach...

| Looking back at Tunnel Beach - it's a bit of a hike to get there, but worth the effort |
 |
| Down through the tunnel for the access to the beach which was put in by some settlers so they had private access to the beach |
 |
| Looking towards the cliffs |
 |
| Views along the coast north towards Dunedin city |
Otago Museum
Butterflies...

| Releasing the newly hatched butterflies |

Tuhura - Children's Education Centre and all round fun place to hang out and try lots of Science-y stuff
 |
| Three kidlets playing with the heat sensor movement projector |
Tomahawk Beach...
The Royal Albatross Centre - we also saw seals and there is a Penguin viewing/nesting area here too.

I was fortunate to see one of the magnificent Royal Albatross flying around.

I promise the next post will be more about Embroidery, I'll show you what I actually got finished!
