I have a bit of a mixed bag for you this week. It's a beautiful spring day today and we went for a walk along the coast track at Makara. The sheep have been lambing – these are proper New Zealand sheep, not alien impersonators.

Jeneane and her sister Ingrid are up from the South Island. They are seen her with Andy, Ali and myself.

The wind turbines of Project West Wind are all up and running now and they make an impressive sight from the gun emplacements.

After the walk we stopped off at the Makara café for coffee. Here Andy is getting in the mood for his birthday party which has a piratical theme (his birthday being
International Talk Like a Pirate Day – arrgh Jim lad, shiver me timbers me hearties etc. etc.)

Lastly Noreen has sent some pictures from Vanuatu. Here are a few to give you an idea of the conditions they are living and working in. It’s a tough life for some!
