The ups and downs
Day 136 May 15th 2016
It is hard to believe that only a few weeks away from the shortest day it is still warm enough to sit outside for breakfast. Nigel and I went for a gentle stroll around the beautiful Hamilton Gardens this morning which means that I have heaps of photos to choose from today. Too many! So this one is my pick just because it sort of represents history. All the others are in our Flickr stream.
Day 135 May 14th 2016
Enjoyed a good run out at Waipa today. Probably not the best training programme this week – 3.7km Monday, 7.6km Friday both round the lake in Hamilton (dead flat) followed by 15km off road at Waipa on Saturday. But the knee held out! I did stop a couple of times to take photos though. So many mushrooms about at the moment.
Day 131 May 10th 2016
Love the colours in Autumn. I had to edit this photo because it just didn’t turn out with the vibrancy of colour that was actually there. There is something comforting about fallen leaves, the warm colours and memories of kicking my feet through piles of them in the garden or out on walks with my family as a little girl.
Day 128 May 7th 2016
Back home, the sun shone, a day in the garden clearing up and uncovering surprises. It is still so warm in our Indian Summer that our veggies are still coming and although feijoas are pretty much done, it is citrus season and we have limes and clementines.
Day 113 April 22nd 2016
Home again and how good is my own bed!? A great night’s sleep, a good day’s work and a lovely evening out with Nigel. The moon has been beautiful this week and getting rounder! We watched as it rose high in the sky, silvery shiny in the inky darkness.
Day 105 April 14th 2016
Autumn definitely here: a chilly morning but cleared away to a warm, sunny day. Great drying day and as I hung the washing out I noticed the silk tree flowers silhouetted against the blue sky. So delicate.
Day 97 April 6th 2016
A day in Auckland, working and relaxing. Started with a beautiful, clear, cold morning.
