Welcome to 2010Happy New Year to you all.We're celebrating the new year with a brand new webhost so there may be one or two changes. Old pages may no longer be available but hopefully, the change-over will be pretty seamless. Our walk around Lake Waikaremoana was absolutely stunning with great scenery, fantastic company and better than average weather. We walked about 50km in 4 days, mainly through native bush and usually not too far from the edge of the lake. The climb to Panekiri Hut for the final night was tough going but oh so worth it for the views.  Christmas was a family affair in Feilding and will always be associated in my mind with little toy monkeys that scream as you launch them from your fingers catapult style. Hours of fun for everyone.  We spent the weekend over New Year's camping with my Sister, Emma and her family along with her brother in law and his brood. It was a pretty relaxing time with trips to lakes, wineries and the beach. Our drive to the beach was a little more eventful than we would have liked as we were first on the scene of a motorcycle accident. The rider had taken a nasty spill and was not in the best of shapes but was conscious and vaguely coherent. We left him in the expert hands of the paramedics about half an hour later.  So now we're back in Palmerston North. Jane's back at work. I'm trying to divide my time between playing guitar (I'm trying to get a band started-again), fishing (not having much luck right now) and schoolwork (fat chance). |
