At the Taurikura Hall we were most impressed with the gluten free jaffa cake - an almond and orange cake with chocolate ganache. delicious.
The views from the houses and galleries were amazing and varied even with properties that were next to each other
We started with a slight (unintentional) detour to Pataua South and watched the children jumping off the bridge
Can someone tell me whether it is something I have done or blogger - When I clicked on a photo previously I could view all my photos but now have to keep going back to the blog. Any help gratefully received.
ReplyDeleteMust be blogger reverting to its previous way of doing things.
ReplyDeleteLucky you doing the Arts Trail there.
We didn't have time when we were there for the 4 day Tour of the Northland. We did have coffee in the marvellous Helena Bay Gallery. Well worth it for both coffee and art!!
It is a wonderful gallery and cafe isn't it - the food is great as well.
Deletelovely photos Susan, sorry, no help for Blogger at all. Cheers, Jean
ReplyDeleteBlogger's 'improvements' aren't always improvements. I find it annoying too. As usual; wonderful quiet beaches!
ReplyDeletere viewing pictures: Mine now seems to have gone back to how it was previously. Maybe yours has too.
DeleteI see mine has as well.
DeleteLots of good photos Susan - looks like you enjoyed the outing. My photos have been doing that too - I thought maybe I had fiddled with something - obviously not - I don't like it like this either!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky that with your work you are going through these amazing trips..i envy you

It is worth the effort of enlarging your photographs. Certainly cheered up a dull morning here. I love that little cluster of characters around the flag pole - and the sea, beaches and islands are simply spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThis was at a delightful cottage with riparian rights to a small secluded beach. The cottage was built by (I think) Newfoundlanders who settled in the area originally and the little characters are the said settlers.
DeleteSounds such a lovely day out.Love all your photos. It's been the coldest Easter here for decades so we've just kept inside by the fire.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get some proper spring weather soon. We have had the most idyllic summer ever. Lately there have been a few very welcome showers but no proper rain as yet.
