Doug informed me that the car needed a run so we decided to go for a drive just close to town. First stop was the cemetery to check on the grave (the ashes of our late spouses are both in the same grave). We then travelled on towards Maungatapere and turned off to cut through the countryside back to Kamo (the suburb where I used to live) then to the supermarket as we plan to be too early for it tomorrow morning.
We stopped and took a few photos from the same spot. It was a lovely day - 26 degrees but quite cloudy and we have much needed rain forecast. (Not that I particularly want it first thing tomorrow for the Market still any time is better than not at all).
We stopped again closer to town and took some more photos.
We too had a day out, and after a cool start turned lout almost as hot as you up North.We are all so fortunate here in NZ to be able to go for a drive, I am grateful beyond anything for that one delight.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jean, although we do tend to stay home, busy in garden, it is good to know that one can do these things. As you say we are so fortunate. Happy Year to you all.
DeleteHappy New Year to you and Doug. Thanks for a year of wonderful photos and snippets of kiwi life.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Happy New Year to you and your family.
DeleteThose paddocks look very brown, so I hope you do get some rain - after you have been to Market LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you. No sign yet but heavy rain still in forecast. hope it is not too heavy as it could just run off.
