Mellow yellow

The manager of the shop where we bought most of our furniture gave us a voucher for lunch for two at the Clearwater resort the other week. Today we made use of it. Clearwater is where the PGA Championship of New Zealand will be held this coming week. It's a lovely place and the restaurant overlooking the lake and the 18th hole was gorgeous.

It was such a mellow, relaxed lunch. A couple of hours in a virtually empty restaurant with superb food and a great view. We'd have happily paid to go there so the fact it was effectively free was a bonus. The hot chocolate pudding (with melting centre, natch) with coconut sorbet was delicious.

It's all been go in Christchurch this week. The airport was closed when a woman on an internal flight tried to hijack the plane and then attacked the pilot and co-pilot with a knife. Not your usual Canterbury tale.
