I took very few photos on our Timaru trip, not sure why in the end. Anyway, we were visiting family and seeing niece Keira for the first time (Skype excepted). I did spend an evening taking a few photos of Keira as she did her thing, they’re up on flickr with a few here. Photo […]
A couple of weekends
A couple of weekends ago we journeyed back to the Wairarapa and stayed with my cousin Amanda for a night in Masterton. We were over the hill for a birthday party celebrating cousin Julian’s 30th birthday. We made the most of our time starting with lunch in Greytown with Amanda and Uncle Michael. Before the […]
Making use of a mid-week break
One benefit of my shift work is I get days off mid-week (while on the other hand I am working two weekends of every four). When the weather is good I like to get out and see more of Wellington and on Thursday I took the opportunity to go for a walk down past Eastbourne. […]
Hera in Wellington and out to the Wairarapa
Ever so slowly we are getting to know Wellington and the area better. On Thursday I found somewhere to get my haircut that does a good job and isn’t expensive (well, not too expensive for me). Somehow Swan Barbers had found me on twitter (I’ve never really tried searching in Twitter, I guess you can […]
Makara Walkway
I’m on my eight day break from work and I’ve been figuring out what I should do with my time for a while now. The weather forecast for the coming week is poor but there was a chance of clear skies today and Tuesday morning so I figured I had better get out for some […]
Kaitoke
Saturday evening we went for a drive and ended up at the entrance to Kaitoke Regional Park, north of Upper Hutt. The plan had been to go for a walk but we left it too late so we had revised to checking out the place in preparation for a visit Sunday morning. The park turned […]
A month around Wellington
So, we’ve been in Wellington a while now and we’ve been checking out our new home region. We’ve been up to Otaki for some Icebreaker factory shop loving and along the way took a few back roads. We found a view along the Kapiti coast so took a few photos: Photo by Brendon & Keryn […]
Changes
Changes are occurring If you’re reading this on the website directly you’ll notice things have changed somewhat. I’ve decided that the time has again come for a redesign and here you have it. There are two major changes to be aware of. Firstly the guestbook is now no longer. It doesn’t get used that much […]
Northumbria
Our last holiday in the UK (this time around) saw us travel up north to New Mills and visit Patty and Sam. We stayed the night and then travelled together up to Northumberland where we stayed at the Old Repeater Station near the middle of Haridan’s Wall. Over the long weekend we walked parts of […]
Leaving drinks
Last night we had drinks to mark the leaving of our jobs. We had been recommended a bar in Farringdon called The Fence and it was a very good night, thankfully the weather was nice so we spent a lot of time outside. Lots of photos in the gallery, here are a couple. With Roger […]

Because Catherine says so
It’s been quiet here on the Blogging front, possibly a combination of being busy, the onset of winter and the family visits recently. Lets go back through the last few weeks then shall we? This week I was at Leeds on Sunday night so I could be at the LS City Walk Office first thing […]
