MORNING WALK

Saturday mornings are very predictable - Growers Market, Walk down at the Town Basin followed by a grocery shop (quite a large grocery shop today as we are making up food hampers for the family for Christmas).

Anyway down at the Town Basin the gardens are looking good




including the garden around the large sundial


the pohutakawa (also know as New Zealand Christmas tree) are in bloom.





the Christmas tree has been erected and decorated



more gardens




and the roundabout (I really need a drone to photograph this.  There are several roundabouts here with a boat as part of their decoration).


As the saying goes - WHANGAREI, LOVE IT HERE.

  3. Gardens around town certainly make a place look more welcoming. They are about the only place one sees bedding flowers set out in all their glorious colour, and certainly lift one's spirits to see them.

  5. They certainly brighten the place up. Many of the roundabouts here have gardens sponsored by local companies.
