On Saturday Sam had a gig as steward at a posh ball. This is him in his tails – mainly to prove that he can dress elegantly when he wants to.
On Sunday a fairly large group of us did another
variation (the zig-zag from Fraser Street) on the
walk that ends up in Eastbourne. This time we started in Wainuiomata and climbed up to Mount Lowry before descending down the other side. It was Jane’s birthday and at the first refreshment stop she was presented with her present – it looks suspiciously like gift wrapped chocolate!
Here is the group on the bench that I have used before. Ingmar’s girlfriend (second from the right) arrived in the country from Germany late Friday night. She’s in the country for six weeks.
This is typical
beech forest – one of the best examples around Wellington.
At the end of the walk we came out to the beach at Days Bay. It was a wonderfully hot day and as you can see the place is quite crowded (by NZ standards).
These three young ladies (Polly, Jenny and Bryony) joined us for lunch
and afterwards Noreen went for a paddle
before taking the plunge (Bryony and Nico beyond her and Wellington across the harbour in the background).
Finally, no blog is
complete without pictures of cute kittens. Here is one of the three that Dave and Jane are training. Dave insists they are being returned on Thursday!
