We have had lovely days over the past few days and I have been in my shorts some days.
Eddie's nephew, Chris, his wife, Emma and son Parker along with Emma’s parents, Chris and Mary and her brother Adam are traveling through the North Island for 2 weeks. They came to stay here for 2 days, before working their way back to Auckland. We had a lovely time with them. They live in Australia.
Parker is almost 6. He is a lovely little boy, with the Davies cheeky blue eyes.
We took them to see the large kahikatea tree that is in our bush. We got a bit lost going in, but we found it eventually. On the way out we found the spot we should have entered the bush. We had walked right past it chatting. We had a good laugh.
Parker was a bit nervous about snakes, until we told them we didn’t have any in New Zealand.
On our way back to the caravan, we showed them the wedding venue here. On our way past one of the oak trees, which was all in flower, we could hear lots of bees buzzing. The tree was covered in them all feeding off the flowers. It was quite amazing.
We had rain last weekend and it was quite a bit cooler than it has been.
I checked to see if we were on the electoral roll, only to find that we weren’t. I was sure we were on the roll at Bay of Plenty, but apparently not. I registered us on the roll on Sunday, so we will be able to vote next weekend.
We have had 3 customers come in over the weekend for one night. I am quite surprised how many we get off the road
We bought a bike rack to put on the back of the dodge. We plan to take the bikes and do some trails around the area. There seem to be a lot of them.
There are some very young bunnies around the place. We see them playing when we are having our breakfast. There were some others by the drive when I came home one afternoon. Very cute. It’s a pity they are pests. I saw a mouse the other day run from one of the stables behind us and into another one.

We went and voted at Greytown on Tuesday, so that's our civic duty done for another round. We had to do a special vote as we have only just gone on to the Wairarapa roll.
Eddie got the old lawn mower he found going today. He was told it was no good and not worth doing, but he played around on it today and got it going. He was very proud of himself
