On Thursday we had the AGM for the caravan club at Paraparaumu. Although I am no longer an active member, as a Life Member I am welcome at any functions and get togethers. The meeting was at Club Vista and the restaurant has views over the sea. Not much to see as the weather was very wet indeed on the drive down. Kapiti Island was under the clouds.

We all stayed on for lunch and took over two tables in the restaurant. The meals were very tasty, and rather large helpings indeed. I enjoyed my Pork Belly, but struggled towards the end, there was just too much on the plate.
Enjoying our lunch
After lunch we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. Dot and I stopped off at the local shopping mall and indulged in a cup of hot chocolate, from Butlers Chocolate Cafe, a very pleasant finish to the day.
A glass of hot chocolate each
Then today, Friday, I dropped off a couple of donation quilts to Nest Collective, a charity which looks after new babies and their families.
Pink/grey quilt went today, plus a blue boys one I forgot to photograph
These two quilts were donated earlier but I don't think I blogged about them at the time.

That looks like a lovely lunch, and your quilts you have given away are lovely. Well done.
Nice to see your caravaning friends. I’m sure they are all missing Robin and you at their events. Lovely donation quilts. I find that I’m making more and more quilts to give away too. Sending a hug. Gail
It must have been lovely to catch up with your caravan club friends and hot chocolate would have been a delicious treat. They are beautiful quilts for a very worthwhile cause.
So good to join your friends for a nice GTG and meal .
Great idea for your friend and you to go to the Chocolate Cafe for a delicious Hot Chocolate Drink before your drive home.
Three lovely quilts completed and gifted. I’m sure they’ll be loved.
Touching base with friends is the perfect way to brighten a rainy day. Love the donation quilts!
I am so glad that you can still meet up with your caravan friends. The hot chocolate sounds lovely before heading home. Your quilts are gorgeous as usual.
God bless.
Lovely to have a day out with friends. Those quilts will be appreciated I'm sure.
Lovely charity quilts - especially the pink & grey - so pretty!
