Whats Happening with Wendy: July

July has been a fairly busy month for work, I have been to Christchurch twice, Thames twice and also out and about locally on numerous occasions.

Sunday 24th July 2016
Today we went to Giapo for ice-cream. This place is so popular people queue to get in, which we also did, but we did not have to wait long, you also received a caramel and chocolate hot drink to keep you warm while you waited.

The ice cream, Malcolm had his in a cone and I had mine in a cup

A sculpture by Gregor Kregar 'Bronze Thinker'

After this we went to the Art Gallery, I had a wander around the exhibit 'Space to Dream' recent art from South America.

I will update this in a separate post as it will be very photo heavy.

Today we made Cheese Scones, and you only need 3 ingredients and they are beautiful and light.

For dinner I made Curried Kumara Soup after trying this when I was in Thames recently.

Back in Thames again today for training.

Speak to the hand!

It's crafty and clever and a bit creepy. Christchurch Art Gallery's newest addition is a giant hand with a grim face that peers down at the city below.

The hand and face are based on the artist Ronnie van Hout's own, but now belong to the gallery's growing collection of outdoor installations.

Next we headed off to the Cookie Time Factory.
