Start of week two...



“All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.”

Good Morning World.. Mon 4th, 8.15, 7.8dg, forecast for today fine with possibility of showery things later. Yesterday morning we set off to walk Taihape in the sunshine and it was a walk down memory lane. I am rather impressed with what we saw... Mel had constantly warned me I would be surprised at the downturn in the town since we had left back in 2008/9. Yes there are some empty shop windows and a lot of food outlets but all towns have that.. it was a perfect day to do the tour.. town was humming with the Targa rally all gathered down by the showgrounds and pit crews doing work on cars in the side streets. Fab cars with wonderful engine and exhaust sounds. Then the helicopter from Ravensdown was spraying just on the bottom side of town.... It quite gave me a wobbly lip and I know for a fact that there was a third person walking with us looking at Taihape... we were surrounded by all the things Paulii loved to do.. a fly boy and a race boy. Home in the sunshine for a lunch out on the little terrace and a super glass of the French white Burgundy for aperitivo. The afternoon was spent out at Mel's wonderful friends.. her initial bolt hole... we drove out to Waiouru, direction Ohakune into the back side of Mataroa, P's former location to their farm.. garden walk and talk, and a marvellous meal. Today we have a tired Poppet, up for breakfast and then straight back to bed. Later a meeting in town with real estate agents and a meet and greet with the bank. Lunch out with some special friends of Paulii's and then hopefully a relaxing evening and a little routine for Poppity. As long as the sun is out all is well.. I have to be honest I am finding New Zealand cold. Happy Monday
