Birthday Celebrations

Another year!





We went to the Okaiawa Hotel with Willy and Josh on a Friday night. It is a true country pub full of locals, dart boards, pool tables and draught on tap.

Simon had been introduced to this pub by his dairy farm friends, and had raved about it. $7.00 for a huge meal and a beer. Lots of noisy chat with heads leaning in around tables, two old guys on the wooden bench outside exchanging views on the possibility of rain, and cricket on the tele.




If you look closely at the fellow in the back, he has a beautiful little bun on the top of his head. A lot of boys at the daycare wear their hair in buns. Very cute!


These hats went completely around the pub.

They served humongous burgers and plates of chips. The burgers had a fried egg, slices of beet root, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, melted cheese, burger between a sesame bun.


The bar tender had an earring and bare, hobbit feet and we were served by a Maori woman with a huge smile.

Before we left, a man approached me with a wooden barrel. He asked me to draw out a number for their weekly lottery. Alas, #34 was not a winner so the $100 would be kept until the next week.

It was a great evening and Willy and Josh had a grand finale by serving gluten free chocolate cake with candles and ice cream.





Thanks Guys!
