We finally got round to planting the Black Boy Peach that Terry gave us last year. Nigel spent a hard day in the garden preparing ground and generally tidying things up.

I persuaded Gus to cone with me to a lecture about the Balfour Declaration this evening…surprising that he agreed! Interesting lecture and took this photo of the spring flowers, evening light and the lake on the way back. Prisms helped bring out the colours!

Sunday rituals….trailrun then gardening. I love watching these yellow roses as they bud bright yellow and gently fade.

Who decided that a beer and wine tasting event from 11am followed by a 30th birthday party was a good idea after yesterday evening?! It was a long day but we battled through! Rewarded by an amazing rainbow and sunset. Might have to give you both photos…


Presented at #learnfest this morning. Out with the team this evening. ‘Just one more’ seemed like a good idea at the time! 
Got to hang out with some of my work whānau in Whakatane today. Then I went for a walk on the beach with Rachel while Matua Rick fished! Work life balance.

No more black and white. A shame because I liked looking at shots and working out if they would work in monochrome.
Back to the brooding teenager…

Day 7 – a wee cheat as my reflection is in the window…. 
Day 6 – proof!

Day 5 – adventure over, legs not too sore. Time for brunch and a stroll at the lake.
