#MyDayInAuckland #Result #TasteOfAucklandTotallyBrilliant

Our day started on the 8.30 ferry over to Auckland city. Hilton 9.30 for Moet, breakfast and more Moet. No recommendation for Fish restaurant in the Hilton for breakfast. Shuttle bus out to Western Springs where Taste of Auckland was being showcased. A day of eating, tasting, sipping and drinking. Cooking classes and cocktails, ideas and produce in abundance. $100+ bottles of gin that were truly delicious but as the conversation went between me and mine... we drink too much gin of an evening to put that in the cupboard. Devine and totally drinkable olive oils, duck rillettes that were so delish I bought 4 jars for the pantry, rounding off all of the poke, prod, discuss, taste and purchases with another couple of lovely cool crisp No 1 Estate glasses of bubbles in the tent. My shoes came of the loser for the wet weather hence the attractive mud line. Back on the shuttle bus to Auckland central and into Botswana Butchery for, opps, another glass and some starchy soakers with mayo. We missed the return ferry by one minute, so had to taxi back to Half Moon Bay. A totally brilliant day.

Luncheon at Garrisons.... a break for a refreshing cold glass of bubbles and a caesar salad in the middle of an afternoon of retail therapy at Sylvia Park, Auckland. Just starting to roll my sleeves up in preparation for #TasteOfAuckland tomorrow. #Anticipation but sadly the weather is typical. Shame.

I designed this gas bottle cover/cupboard in my head during a sleepless night. Yesterday Mel and I started to assemble it. Today I hung the door on my own in a wonderful Norwest wind. Technically finished. I thought the air appropriately blue yesterday but my Lord the air was very very blue today. Huge gin to celebrate.

#WellDeserved #NZSauvignonBlanc #BigDayNowTreatTime

This is a well deserved glass of beautiful cold New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.. I have been cutting hedges all day. I never wanted hedges again but stupid bylaws here mean I cannot have a fence high enough for privacy only a hedge. Hedges need a lot of cuttimg. I am totally in need of this on so many levels ... Prost !!
