A red carpet...

...to welcome us home after three beautiful days at Lake Tarawera where the water was like glass and the exotic trees aglow in their autumn garb.
Dr D assembled a new barbecue for Hermione Cottage. "40 minutes fun in a box" asserted the retailer/owner and 3  and a half hours after Dean started the puzzle , he had it completed. D is a practical DIYer and not easily  baffled but these non verbal instructions proved more than a quick challenge. All finished now and seasoned too, ready for our guests next week.
