Neath the Pongas
Posted on November 25, 2015 Leave a Comment
Walking in the Kaimanwas on a winter’s afternoon wrapped up all warm against the cold, I found myself looking eagerly for the sunny spots where the sun managed to get through the trees. I was after any warmth possible. Here, ‘neath the Pongas, was a gorgeous sunny spot enveloping us in a kaleidoscope of colour. […]
Treats in Store

I am terrible at remembering birthdays. It is not unheard of for me to have finally got the present in a rush and a flurry and then realised too late that I had no wrapping or card, The kids all laugh and tell stories of how Mum wraps presents in teatowels or dressing gowns. Once […]

Delightfully Delish

It was taking a while for her to peruse the dress shop. I had decided to stay in the car so we could keep the windows down keeping the car cooler for the dog. We don’t have this dress shop in our town so we were happy to wait. No one was fazed. And she […]
Sharing Susan’s Sheep

It was lambing time and Susan’s sheep are well worth a visit. Being Pitt Island sheep they aren’t your normal run of the mill whiteys but rather, just a little quirky with dreds of black and brown. Susan likes quirky. I gotta say I like them too. They are interesting. She takes her bucket of […]

Grandma sitting on the sidelines watching the play while wearing a smile. Granddad bouncing light and nimble at the ready. And that darling dearest of mine in his element enjoying […]

Perfect Green Orchids

It was the perfect way to say ‘Thank-You’, ‘We love you’, ‘We hope your new home turns out to be everything you desire’. Orchids. A whole array of them to choose from. We let her choose, so it would bring her the maximum amount of pleasure. True to form, she chose the only green orchid, […]
Kereru and Wood Pigeons

Yes, the Maori name for New Zealand’s native Wood Pigeon is ‘Kereru’. This may seem like double the trouble to write, but we were seeing double that day. Not one, but two big fat Kereru no more than a metre above. Feeding as if there was no tomorrow, even though their rather rotund undercarriage suggested they […]
A Hand Up

Miserably cold and wet with a biting wind, he suggested we walked through the bush to escape the elements. The dog was keen with the bush idea. So he led and I followed. The trees did their job of protecting against wind and rain and it was a nice change of scenery from our normal […]
