WELCOME!


Welcome to my blog. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you'll stay and enjoy reading about where I've been and what I've been doing!

I don't mean this to be a replacement for personal emails, but it gives me the chance to put up photos and my scrapbook layouts, so I don't block up your in-boxes, or have to send the same photos and stories to everyone separately!
Thanks, and welcome, to the followers of my blog. I'm very honoured that you enjoy it. Drop me some comments from time to time! It's good to hear what you think about the posts. Come back again soon.

Thanks also to Mary of Mary's Mixes for doing all the work on the blog's heading. You are great, Mary!

More on New Zealand


Well, I left NZ temporarily to catch up on local happenings so let's go back there now. (I wish!)



This was taken down the coast north of Hokitika. I thought the sea was pretty wild and beautiful so I'm putting it in here before my journey leaves the coast and heads inland.








And just before leaving Pancake Rocks here are some wekas, grazing outside the DoC (Department of Conservation) information office.



















Cape Foulwind is where two ocean currents meet, causing fierce storms.




Tauranga Bay near Cape Foulwind is home to a large colony of fur seals. This is a small group within the colony.











The signpost here at Cape Foulwind is like the one at Bluff that points to capital cities to the north.






Now we head inland to drive through the Buller Gorge and on to Murchison.


















The hotel on the corner is where I stayed the night, and the supermarket is where I overheard a customer ask "Where are the eggs?" - the most common enquiry in our shop!
Getting late now and I have had a few problems with uploading tonight, so I will wish you goodnight now till next time.
Talk again soon.
