Boxing Day relaxation. Run around the lake this afternoon. Needed to move after all the food and drink yesterday. It was a bit moody down there today… threatening rain and swirling wind.

Day 5 – adventure over, legs not too sore. Time for brunch and a stroll at the lake.
Rā 224 Rātapu 13 o Here-Turi-Kokā
Had a good day out on the trails. 26km and felt pretty good. Enjoyed a chilly dip in the lake after…
Rā 169 Rāhina 19 o Pipiri
A day working with inspiring teachers again. Today I was in Taupō. Got ready to go for a run at the end of the day to find I had left my shoes at home! Went for a swim instead. A tad chilly but refreshing and beautiful – swimming with ducks!
Rā 168 Rātapu 18 o Pipiri
Surprisingly, my legs feel ok…maybe the pain will be delayed until tomorrow? Went for a gentle stroll around the lake while Gus was at hockey training. Turned into a beautiful morning but the ducks were slow to wake up!
Rā 165 Rāpare 15 o Pipiri
Early morning walk around the lake. A beautiful sunrise, delicate pink and a still lake.
Rā 147 Rātapu 28 o Haratua
Aonghas played in his first U18 Waikato game today at the Tri-series in Rotorua. I didn’t get a good photo though. I went for a run and a swim between games – bit chilly but Lake Tikitapu is stunning so had to share this one!
Rā 320 Rātu 15 o Whiringa-ā-rangi
First day of Strategic Thinking workshops today in Paeroa. Great discussions with challenging questions and some ‘outside the confort zone’ thinking. Carried on down to Taupo ready for tomorrow’s workshops in time for a beautiful sunset over the lake.
Day 186 July 4th 2016
Another cold misty morning at the lake. Ran 6km and never warmed up but the mist swirling around the lake made for very Turneresque landscapes. I almost didn’t take a photo but then spotted this mother duck out with her brood following behind her..
Day 134 May 13th 2016
I love the way the geese stand at the edge of the lake and just look out. What are they thinking?
