Spring is here... then it is cold, then it is warm....




been neglecting the blog again, but have had an excuse. Apart from being winter/spring, I have also been working so haven't had so much time to sit down and update the blog.
But, the weather is improving, the trees and plants are blossoming, the wildlife is getting more active and everyone feels better in themselves for a bit of sunshine.

We trekked across to the beach last weekend, stopping off at Bridal veil falls on the way as there has been so much water we thought it would be spectacular. We weren't disappointed. We also took a couple of pals for the kids and ended up bumping in to some more friends of ours who were also there. Jan and I sat in our chairs looking after the dog as the kids played a number of games on the sand. It would have been a wonderfully warm day, but typical for this time of year there was quite a breeze which cooled it off a bit. So 6 kids wandered off around Raglan town buying food and stuff and us adults sat in a cafe with a cuppa.

Fish and chips rounded the day off nicely and we all ended up at home, tired, but feeling so much better for a day at one of our favourite beaches.
