Southland Tour

I can't believe it's been months since I posted here.  I guess Facebook has been taking up all my time on the internet!

I'm on a tour of Southland and it's been fantastic so far.  Loads of gigs, lots of kids, heaps of singing and a bit of sight seeing along the way.  Here's a few of my favourite photos and a video for your listening/watching pleasure.

A bird-feeder I bought for $2 at a garage sale in Reefton...
 My yummy breakfast!
 A lovely bush walk - which reminds me of a fairy tale....like the Gruffalo is going to come out of the trees or something else fairy tale-like
 A stairway leading to......the view of views!
 A cheeky Kea in Fox Glacier
 A mum and her ducklings in Frankton by Queenstown beside Lake Wakatipu
 Gartson School + a few extra Mums and their wee ones
 Mossburn preschool and new entrants at Mossburn school
 And here we are at Lumsden Playcentre - what a cutie!
 Night night, time to sleep now
 Press ups??  Yep, someone suggested 'pressuping' in our Brand New Shoes, so we did!
 Cute Benjamin in the tree
 Aroha ELC in Gore shaking their shakers
 The Oxford Kindy Kids are curling up into tiny balls!
 A jumping bean at Gore Playcentre..
 And some cool dress-ups at "Little Ones" in Edendale
And if you've got this far, then you deserve a sing-song!!  Click HERE and it will take you to Lumsden Primary singing "Individuality" with me.

On Waiheke

What a fun day on Waiheke!  First, I caught the train from Morningside to Britomart.....

Then, I walked to the Ferry Terminal and hopped on the ferry...



it wasn't very full....


This is what Auckland looks like from the ferry....






Goodbye Auckland.......


Passing another boat....


Auckland getting smaller and smaller...


Hello Devonport....

 



Wow!! This is a big container ship...I'm surprised it can float!!


Goodbye Devonport...




What do you think this is on the island??  It's like a bit chimney or something....


Here we are at Waiheke Island...




This is Debbie who picked me up and brought me to Waiheke Kindy...


It's an awesome kindy with recycled milk containers for potplant holders and their own garden and other cool things....





The bird feeder...that's a bird underneath



And now the gig!!!  I'm not wearing my tutu because of the train and ferry trip....





Lullaby time...go to sleep now...


And now it's time to go....but I'll be back some day.....so see ya later....goodbye....
Some cool sky on the way back to Auck on the ferry...





That's me....though you can't tell...but the sun and clouds look cool behind me!
