Weekend Blog roundup 19th July
One of the joys of living in New Zealand is the wine. This New Zealand Life comments on how much cheaper it is to buy the stuff here. Along with their Flat White Index – I think they now have the necessities covered.
They have also posted a rather funny tale of trying to use the train service to get to the Wairarapa and back. While it does raise some serious issues about how the public transport system here can be just as lousy as anything British Rail can throw at you – I couldn’t help but laugh. And it reminds me that I should blog about the disaster that is the Overland journey from Wellington to Auckland. Not New Zealand’s finest showcase.
The Dawes Family are talking about the arrival of Grandma with the requisite suitcase of goodies from the UK. It is just a fact of life for many of us that we do like our little treats from back home now and then (often at a much cheaper price). They then went to Stonestead for a cream tea. I’ve passed the sign on the way home (Its just on the Wellington side of the hill), but I’ve never gone there. The photo of the scone has persuaded me to take a detour one day.
Domestic executive is planting an orchard – which looks like a lot of hard work to me – unless you are the Basset hounds sitting in the sun. I think they have the right idea! As my dad has already started planning our veggie garden and orchard there could at some point be a little of bit of outdoor work for me to do.
