A quiet weekend in Wellington

Firstly congratulations to Frannie and Beno on their wedding, gutted we cannot be there. Hope ireland was not wet. xx

We've had a quiet weekend in Wellie; Ed had to work on a new project and so I pottered about.

Breakfast room, views over the harbour. Good way to start the day.



Off to Moore Wilson's - the best supermarket in the world. 

Some sausage to try and lots of fresh and unusual veggies and fruit. 



Lots of cheese!  


Even more local olive oils.




This is where Folly will wait for us!


  I love this.  A deep spring water well provides shoppers with thirst quenching clean crisp water.


Cafe L'affare - a Wellie institute, the first place to roast their own beans. Very good coffee.


Cuba Street - shops, bars, restaurants etc



A really rather stupid looking 'fountain' type thing on Cuba street which soaks unaware passersby.


Sunday market on the seafront - just 5 minutes from our house.  



The fishing boat that sells its wonderfully fresh catch. You can just see our house in the background on the hill.  


We drove out of Wellie, NW for 15 minutes and arrived in the middle of nowhere. 



 More to follow later.  Next week we pick up Folly so the focus of this blog will no doubt shift onto the newest Montague family member!
