Easter 2007

Donna and her dad outside the Mud House Winery in Waipara, about 18 miles north of Woodend. We'd just had a bit of a tasting, and Donna has a carry out for ron. Her dad and Rose were here for a few days over Easter Weekend - this was Good Friday.

We did a walk at the end of March, about an hour down to this deserted beach, about 24 miles north of Woodend by road.

Lake Taylor 3rd February

We spent the night up here and did a walk of about seven hours with stops, past another lake to a third - Lake Sumner. It was 2 hours drive to get here - the first on tar seal, the second on gravel.

Taylors Mistake 31st January

Martin on the cliffs above Taylors Mistake. Our second visitor John, who used to be my mum's physio before he retired, stayed with us for a couple of days at the end of January, so one day we did this walk of about 3 hours from this Christchurch suburb across Godley Head to Lyttleton Harbour and back.

Helen Bob & Martin

January 18th - our first visitors at home this year. Helen who works at Abbey and husband Bob out here on a 25th Wedding Anniversary tour. Unfortunately this was their last full day in NZ when we finally caught up with them, and they were staying with other friends in Christchurch, so we just got to have a couple of drinks with them.
