Pain au chocolat,
Pain au chocolat, literally chocolate bread; also known as chocolatine in the south-west part of France and in Canada, is a type of viennoiserie sweet roll consisting of a cuboid-shaped piece of yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar in texture to a puff pastry, with one or two pieces of dark chocolate in the centre.

Rotorua
My trip to Rotorua was very worthwhile, and I took many photos of various landmarks. Berthed on the Rotorua lake, I saw her Majesty the Queen. This genuine 266 passenger stern wheel paddle ship was built on the traditional lines of the Mississippi River paddle ships.Purpose built and launched in 1986, the Lakeland Queen has only ever sailed on Lake Rotorua and is now a well-loved icon of Rotorua. She is powered by a 240 hp Cummins diesel engine driving the 8 bladed stern paddle through a hydraulic system.
The Lakeland Queen, New Zealand’s only Paddle Stern Driven Vessel returns to Lake Rotorua in all its glory complete with a 10-metre extension and a stylish new interior.
The Lakeland Queen can now cater for up to 240 guests for a seated breakfast, lunch or dinner, or 300 guests for a cocktail style function. The options available include one of the daily scheduled cruises, exclusive use of the upper or lower deck for a scheduled cruise, or to charter the entire vessel for the ultimate corporate, incentive or wedding experience.
Thy neighbour's fruit
Grand pa and mum and dad used to tell us not to pluck road side flowers and fruits. My neighbour planted her passion fruit vine, and two fruits grew hanging over our wall. I was tempted to pick them but I remember Grandpa's words.

When a homeless couple moved in with a millionaire
This piece of article inspired my friend Angela to write about her grandfather.
My grandfather took homeless men into his home, he washed and clothed them and provided the love they needed to heal their emotions and past...they were all great people, some grew vegetable gardens at his home and provided fresh produce for his family....he was always taken people off the streets until he died at 57 in 1950's. And this wonderful thing was more amazing as my grandfather also owned the largest law firm in New Zealand, was well respected...but I dont think many people knew of his continuous deeds. A true man of God, he saw, wept and lent his hand out.....would have loved to have net you Brice Scott!

you inherited a rich heritage. Your legacy. My parents brought back a
blind man, not blood relative and he stayed months
It is just today that I had morning tea with someone from my hometown. It was this anecdote that Mum and Dad brought home a blind man who lived for months. He was not blood relative. Angela Scott
