What Does It Mean When I Have Low Sodium Level

Easter and Easter Monday here called

Easter chocolate cake, made by Rosie, to celebrate the birthday of Camilla in a few days before.



fact, we spent Easter with a new family of Italians who have decided to leave the country for Italy to try a new experience in kiwi land. One step is not easy, considering that the couple (Marco and Federica) are brought to well below 4 children. Not naive, quiet.
were well prepared, because the grandparents have lived here for 15 years and they themselves had already spent several vacations in the area. The country
"new" was certainly one for them ..... New!



Their house is also equipped with a swimming pool and children could not resist doing four dives. The day cheeks a lot. Eventually one of the dad could not resist a dip and if you did, too. I did not do it but in the end I was still wet from head to toe because I was always around the pool with the two younger children curious about what was happening.





An afternoon full of emotions and a lot of joy. Children always bring joy and adults benefit.
The ladies had prepared delicious meals. From lasagne, pies, baked meat and dozens of side dishes. A brilliant idea, even this self-service.

The next day, to dispose of excess calories, we went for a nice bike ride. The day demanded it and so we loaded the bikes and on the trolley car and off to the West. About an hour's drive you enter the Wild West, where the sheep and the cows begin to lord it.
Packed Lunches, and two water bottles of "wine". But I say, sorry, I meant one of the other milk and water.





La zona in cui siamo stati è quella di Helensville e poi molto più carina, la Kumeu Valley, dove ci sono parecchie winery (vinerie).
Vi lascio il link su google.map e un sito interessante da vedere :

Dopo tanto pedalare una "sana" sosta ci voleva ! Che ne dite ?
Cercando di non perdere tutte le "abitudine" del vecchio country village da dove vengo, mi è sembrato opportuno riprendere una delle vecchie tradizioni del gruppo il Principe e le sue Viole e far tappa in una winery.
Non c'era il prosecco a cui ero abituato ,ma il paesaggio mi ricordava molto quei tempi. Pasquetta era un must.
