Hello Everyone. :-)

[Tora]

:) Just hoping you guys will let me in, as I am no longer an Ozzie!! :P

Hi everyone! I am now living in a beautiful place called Golden Bay, which is on the South Island of New Zealand. At present I have no pets, but my Mother's cat, "Lucy-Lu" has adopted me. :)

I look forward to reading all the posts, and getting to know who everyone is! ;)

My hobbies are all craft or cat related! Boring I know, but there you have it! lol

Oh, I do enjoy genealogy, and playing about on the internet.

Tora :)

Of course we'll let you in, we've seen your citizenship papers, so thats good enough.

Glad to see you made it safe and sound, and the puter as well LOL.
We missed you :x

:hug: Hugs to you all!! Thanks for the warm welcome! Helen, so pleased to hear you are back doing mosaic, and looking forward to seeing some photos. No, no crafts forthcoming yet, although the scrapbooking books are already out of the boxes!! ;)

I have been busy with the cross stitch as I mentioned before, but not as much as I should have!

Pam, yes, that's our driveway. lol. A short stroll down the road to the milking shed! (Fresh milk for the cornflakes!! ;) )

I will post more photos, as soon as I find my way around, shouldn't take me too long.

Hope to read more as time permits. Thanks again for the welcome. :)
