Some friends are doing a biking tour of NZ at the moment; not too far from you I think. I saw on Facebook it's been really nice weather but they said it was due to change - looks like it has!

And the view from it.

Chambourcin Cottage,Haumona,NZ.Looking towards Napier.
Lovely sitting on the verandah sipping a local merlot,nibbling on some local cheeses and venison salami.Watching the rabbits hop between the vines and listen to the shotgun blasts.Ah the serenity.

and listen to the shotgun blasts.

More likely a propane bird-scarer 'cannon' than someone running amok with a shotgun.

Like this for anyone unfamiliar with them: Zon Mark 4 Scare Gun

Poetic licence JohnM.Saying listening to the propane bird scarer cannon just doesn't have the same ring to it.Leave the scientific world for a little while and get in touch with your literary soul.

Some very relaxed sheep on the road to the “Bridge to nowhere”. Isle of Lewis, Scotland.

The view from my office.... Aer Lingus lounge at T2. First time departing here although flown in plenty of times. When EI is only £10 more than FR it's an easy choice....

 

[Flashback]

And... Plaza Premium LHR T2. Accessible via Priority Pass and I think my Plat AMEX charge card too. EI lounge was via my BA Gold.

It's a zoo in here!

Thai green curry was nice. Pasta was tasteless.

Back in EI lounge now as only 3 people here

 

[Flashback]

This is the best you can do for dinner in the EI lounge....

Is that a bad moon a-rising?

On my walk around the local lake last night.

Monger?

The view from today's lunch office.

The Elephant Hill vineyard restaurant just outside Huamoana,NZ.If you are in the southern Hawkes Bay region this place is a definite recommendation

Monger?

No - Lake Brearley (now there's a famous WA aviator: Norman Brearley - Wikipedia). It's an artificial lake created from the old claypits for the brickworks adjacent to the old Maylands Aerodrome site (also historically significant in Australian aviation: Maylands Airport - Wikipedia). Several streets around there are named after aircraft (eg. Dakota, Kittyhawk, Halifax) and (Bert) Hinkler - another famous aviator (Bert Hinkler - Wikipedia).

Elephant Hill is excellent. Craggy Range on Waimarama Rd, just out of Havelock North and in the shadow of Te Mata Peak is outstanding too.

But geo correction..it is firmly in Hawkes Bay proper. Southern Hawkes Bay is Dannevirke, Norsewood etc and a good few hours drive south from Haumoana!

 

[Flashback]

The view from my usual Irish office. I left sunny and 15 degrees in London for this....


Moooove along, nothing but calves to see here.
