Back in the armchair, typing, after out holiday to the east coast of the north island.
The initial aim of the trip was the cricket tournament for Joe, the same one he played in last year. However, this year there were two teams, with the talent split between the two.
They played six games, winning three. Joe had more of a go with the ball and took three wickets, with no star turns with the bat.
The video shows him modeling his momento bat.
The cricket was good, though somewhat marred by long outfields that made scoring a boundary a mighty effort. Joe enjoyed himself, and so did everyone else.
When the cricket was over it was time to move on with the tent to Porangahau . The weather was great, dry and some great wind to have some long forgotten success with the kite-no video available unfortunately.
It was the most successful camping trip we have had since being in NZ. The campsite was basic, but quiet and not crowded. Fun had by all, time to read books, play in the sea, and play games.
Now back at work, and children counting down to return to school
