Serendipity and the Art of the Quilt: October 2005
http://serendipitypatchwork.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Serendipity and the Art of the Quilt. Saturday, October 01, 2005. Anyway, when I got back home, I checked out. Posted by Brenda Gael Smith at 7:15 pm. Since making my first quilt, quiltmaking has developed into a compelling avocation for me (I was a commercial and regulatory lawyer in another life). I relish every step in the quiltmaking process - especially the serendipity factor. View my complete profile. Serendipity Patchwork and Quilting. Casa da Praia: My Home. Amy and Paul in London.

Serendipity and the Art of the Quilt: September 2005
http://serendipitypatchwork.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Serendipity and the Art of the Quilt. Thursday, September 29, 2005. I thought I was pretty smart setting up my own website without having to know too much about html but now I guess I have to bite the bullet. Anyway, here's a photo of my latest quilt. It is called Taranaki Solstice. And I made it for my Dad and Zella who have a house in the Taranaki Region in New Zealand. It can get pretty cold there so this will help keep them warm. Now let's see if this works. Posted by Brenda Gael Smith at 7:27 pm.

GritzFranzOE: September 2009
http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 24. The next day we spent most of our time bussing to Agrigento. Although from our map it appeared that there was a direct road of some 100k's we had a 6 hour bus ride back up to Catania and through the interior of the island. This was still quicker than the 9 hours and two changes it would have taken by train! Also famous as the setting for the closing scene of one of the Godfather movies. The local markets were also quite impressive with abundant fresh produce. The hostel we are sta...

Valda of Warkworth: December 2007
http://valdaofwarkworth.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 December 2007. Heroes Square was built to celebrate 1000 years of Hungarian nation. It has statues of the leaders of the seven tribes that joined together and statues of kings. We were already familiar with the stories of some of the kings, thanks to our host who pointed to them on the forint notes and told their stories the night before. Tuesday, 11 December 2007. After a short tour on the Pest side with Amy and Paul who flew in on Friday night, we headed for Buda to visit St Matthais Church.

Valda of Warkworth: Regec
http://valdaofwarkworth.blogspot.com/2008/01/regec.html
Sunday, 6 January 2008. A real castle - and a very cold day, about minus 2. Some snacks for the walk would have been great, but the village store was the social hub and no one was in any hurry to shop. Too much to talk about, including these two strangers looking for Kerekes. The daylight hours were too short to waste so we went on our way. The uphill climb was broken with spells of jumping on the frozen puddles to break the ice, and skating on those that would not yield. Warkworth, New Zealand.

http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 12. Elephant riding in Kumily. Lizard we saw this morning in Mamallapuram. At the Five Rathas - Mamallapuram. Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper. Goodbye India - Hello NZ! So here we are in Mamallapuram, a small beach-side town just south of Chennai and tomorrow we will be flying home! A very memorable setting and a special day for us. And learning about spices (and then shopping for them - vanilla pods are soooo cheap here! In Mamallapuram (just up the coast from Pondy) we are staying i...

Recipes from our family living in Warkworth, Auckland, Dunedin, Toowoomba, Sydney, Copacabana and London! Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Cherry tomatoes (and fish). I need somewhere to store this label from a can of "Select = Woolworths" brand cherry tomatoes. Now I find we have to go to a speciality food store to find them in a can. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Valda of Warkworth: Fony - and family
http://valdaofwarkworth.blogspot.com/2008/01/fony-and-family.html
Sunday, 6 January 2008. Fony - and family. Delia noticed it first - on the bus from Miskolc to Novijdrany many of our fellow travellers had noses shaped the same as mine. This confirmed we were in home territory - but more excitement to come. Our host, Csaba, had done some research and had the address of someone who wanted to meet us. She had been a Kerekes and her parents graves we amongst the ones we saw in the cemetry earlier in the day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Warkworth, New Zealand.

GritzFranzOE: August 2009
http://gritzfranzoe.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31. Indian High Commission in NZ much friendlier than the one in London. Instead of hanging up on Graham, 'Raj' chatted with him for about ten minutes and assured him the visa could be processed within an hour. The passport was sent off on Saturday morning so now we're just waiting for the post to do their bit. Fingers crossed our trip might only be delayed by 5-7 days! Big thanks to Peter for handling things in Wellington! Franziska Lang and Graham Hooper. Friday, August 28. Franziska Lan...
