Back to Petone (and 13 years)

We had a busy afternoon visiting a daycare centre in Takapu Valley and then visiting our mortgage broker in Wellington. One of those visits ended with a decision being made. It was a beautiful day so rather than spending the evening sitting in congested traffic we headed to Petone (OK, there was a short period […]

Happy 78th Birthday

Today is my fathers birthday, a sprightly 78 years old. We went out for dinner to Black Olive in Petone (wonderful Turkish food, brought back great memories of dinning at Bakko in Muswell Hill) followed by a walk along the pier on the Petone foreshore.
