Work day and the beginning of the week even though it’s Tuesday because of the “Monday – isation” of Waitangi Day. Don’t you just love four day weeks!? Walked into Ham East for lunch with Fiona and Bill at the Grey Garden. A unique little place with an eclectic collection of all sorts of every day stuff from the past that evokes memories of childhood and adolescence. Simple food and excellent coffee.

Out at Raglan again today to show another visitor around. Last week we watched as people jumped off Te Kopua bridge. It was a sad day today out there; a teenager drowned when someone landed on top of him after he had jumped off the bridge. Two hours later the appetite for bridge jumping was still as strong as ever but I didn’t really feel like taking any photos, out of respect. We headed over to Ngaranui beach where the tide was as far out as I think we have ever seen it. I love the reflection of the clouds in the shallow water.

An ‘easy’ 10km training walk today and since Gus had to be down at the hockey turf for Suburbs trials I was back at the lake. The waterlilies are resplendent at the moment and I took a few photos. But today’s pick is a grey heron eyeing something up amongst the lily pads.

Friday evening. Time for a beer. The Tron has seen a resurgence of craft beer bars over the last couple of years. Just in time for our re-entry into the adult world now that both boys are over 16. The Craft Bar in Hamilton has become our de facto local. 15 different beers, excellent food as well as great hosts and within walking distance from home – What more does one need!?

The day we got fibre!
Occasionally I join in with the Weekend Hashtag Project on Instagram if the theme inspires me. “The goal this weekend is to give an insider’s look into your community through creative photos and videos”
This is my contribution so far; a wee cafe hidden away in Hamilton East which makes the best coffee!
Back at work and I look out if the window and see the meadow that had grown whilst we were away. Only a few minutes later the pretty yellow was all gone after Aonghas mowed the lawn.

Not many photos today as it was a day of travel again. I guess this one of us touching down in the Tron after an amazing two weeks away exploring. I love travelling and exploring but it is always good to be home!
The last day of our summer holiday roadtrip. The long drive north to Tekapo took us over the Lindis Pass so we had to have a selfie! The four musketeers!

No question of which photo gets the pick today. This sea lion caused some consternation in Oban Township today.
