Surprise Surprise
It was Neil's birthday on 29th of March and a crowd of us went to see the Pet Shop Boys in concert - it was a really great night and we all had loads of fun.
At the weekend, Sonia (Neil's very good mate from work) took him on a tour of some of the vineyards. The first one we went to was called Ransom Wines where we had a 'Flight of Wines' accompanyed by corresponding food for lunch - it was such a great birthday present. The website for the winery is at http://www.ransomwines.co.nz/ its worth a visit even if its only a cyber visit!!
On the way home we drove for ages very slowly and I was getting really tired and a bit cranky. Sonia then decided to go for Lotto tickets and there was loads of texting going on. When we got back to the house - she asked if she could pop in for 5 mins to see the cats - I was feeling really tired now and the last thing I needed was someone in the house playing with the cats. When I got upthe stairs - SURPRISE!!! Ray had arranged a party - everyone was there and we had a fantastic time - I can't believe that everyone was in on it and I didn't even suspect anything was going on!! Here is some of the pictures of the surprise and the party that followed.

Hey Neil
This is my first venture into the blogosphere I've read so much about ... I think I've been out of the rat race too long! Fantastic pictures, sounds like you're having a ball. I had another baby on Saturday morning, Isobel, a sister for Charlie and Ruby.
Love
