A beautiful weekend ahead. A high pressure system lies over NZ, so bright, dry and windless days in store.
The morning started with a view across the way to the ‘witch’s house”.
NZ is closed on Good friday. The shops do not open and no newspapers. Just like the “old days”. It seems peculiar that this relatively heathen country pays regard to important religious festivals. it will be the same on Easter Sunday, and it also applies to the early part of ANZAC day, 25th April.
We went for a walk by Wainuiomata, Moores valley, near the sreservoir. Beautiful and quiet, and a picnic by the river. The water was freezing but did not stop Joe form jumping in. He was however surprised as to how cold it was!
Of course after that we were good left footers and went to St. Bens, though the Quirke family we notable for their non participation in the cross veneration segment.
Later in the afternoon we behaved like Kiwis; we had a BBQ because the sun was out and because we could!
