November

No photos of Amy this month so some out and about shots. This was taken from up the Peak yesterday, with snow just about visible on Mount Ruapehu, under the clouds just right of centre.

Sunset from the top of our garden three nights ago.

From almost the top of the peak last week, looking over the Tukituki Valley to the ocean.

Marine Parade, Napier, with Cape Kidnappers in the distance.

Ok this one was last month at the Sunshine Brewery in Gisborne, but if you want some Amy shots....

Sunset last night from the top of our garden.

Out and about, up the peak and in the village.

 

Our house almost hidden behind the cherry trees

Spring Break

A few days away during the first week of the school holidays. We took the motor home up the coast. This is Opoutama near Mahia. With a water temperature of about 13 degrees centigrade and a maybe slightly warmer air temperature, only one of us was tempted by the water.

On top of Mokotahi Hill, Mahia Beach.

On the way back home after 14 weeks in England.

Johor Bahru. Just across the causeway in Malaysia.

My accommodation for two nights. This is level 8, I was on level 15 of the left-hand block, facing away from the pool.

June 25

Okay, so it may be a day late. School holidays again and with Martin still in England, Amy and Donna are spending a few days in the capital. Looks like a (not so) healthy breakfast.
 

Meanwhile in Chesterfield. Cooling off on a hot day when it's just too far to the pond.

Lunch stop with John Hart, and Ashover Rock, or The Fabrick

May

 

With Martin in England, the girls are left to celebrate Donna's birthday by themselves.
