The ups and downs

A sunny day so a trip to Raglan. Unfortunately, the outgoing tide was too strong so we couldn’t kayak. So we wandered round the shops then walked through Wainui Bush Reserve and over to Ngarunui beach. A quick dip in the ocean and a walk along the beach. ..bit nippy but it has to be done!! And a message in the sand!

My sister and my niece arrived today. First time for them in New Zealand and three years since I saw them. So very excited. First stop. ..Pokeno for ice cream then a walk around Hamilton Gardens and then Christmas tree decorating just to keep jet lag at bay! Lovely to see cousins together again. Three photos (cheating again!)

Starting to feel more Christmassy now the tree is installed but we are waiting for Rosa to arrive tomorrow to help decorate it. Meanwhile lots of preparation inside and out and I discovered these beauties . .. my favourite summer fruit.

Good to get out on the trails today. A steady 20km from Little Waipa to the Lookout over Jones’ Landing and back. Stunning view.

Oops! Two nights in a row at the pub! Won a tee-shirt at the Garage Project tap takeover.

The garden is starting to bloom. Love the roses and especially this one. I remember it was my mum’s favourite coloured rose.

I took advantage of a school visit in Ngaruawahia to go for a lunchtime run up the Hakarimatas! Just under an hour up and down! Bit of a scorcher so it was good to have a splash in the waterfall at the bottom to cool down.

A quiet day after yesterday evening’s excitement. Breakfast in the sunshine was perfect for a lazy Sunday morning.
