Returning from From the Strawberry Patch...

Ever so s-l-o-w-l-y things are returning to something resembling normal once again. Yesterday we returned to worship after an eleven week forced break, Praise God; if there was ever a time that God's people needed to gather it is now! We warmly welcomed a newly-called and soon-to-be-ordained pastor, too; I have renewed hope for the future and rejoice in God's faithful presence through leaders

High Tea at Oruawharo Homestead from Romany Quilting

I like to imagine that I’m a “High Tea” sort of girl – so what could be nicer than High Tea with our ICA rally friends at the wonderful Oruawharo Homestead, built in 1879?  Sounded like my sort of outing.  The house was built by Charles Tringham, a Wellington architect, in the Italianate Style.  We had been here some years previously, so were very keen to return.  Our High Tea was served in the pretty little church, Vincent’s Chapel,  which had been moved onto the property several years ago, and is now used for weddings and other functions.
