For a long time now we had been planning to go camping last Friday. As it happened the weather forecast was really good and earlier in the week Keryn started sending me suggestions of things we could do. One of these suggestions was to visit Kapiti Island and it took me all of 10 minutes […]
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 […]
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 […]
The start and end of Summer
I think it is fair to say that the UK has had a terrible summer from a sun and temperature point of view. This weekend seems to be attempting to make up for the shortfall by providing a beautiful few days of lovely weather. It’s a bank holiday weekend as well, and bank holidays are […]
The Eye
The people who own the London Eye are hosting a photography competition linked to the forthcoming 25 millionth visitor milestone. People have to upload photos that involve the Eye and winners will be chosen to receive prizes (unspecified on the website, identified as cameras and other items on other sites). I already have some nice […]
The London Eye and other things
This weekend has been good. On Saturday we started nice and early and took a ride on the London Eye. I’d noticed earlier in the week that the weekends weather forecast was good and thought that it might be a good time to do one of the ‘London touristy things’ so booked ahead for a […]
A little snow, a lot of chaos
The following may take a while to load. There are no bigger versions of the photos, they’re blurry enough as it is (I had enough problems standing up, let alone be really steady in bad light to take photos). So, it snowed today. This wasn’t really a surprises, it had been forcast for the last […]
