The school holidays are over now, but last week we visited the West Coast of our South Island; hanging out on the beach, visiting abandoned coal mines and caves, walking through little rural towns and sampling the tearoom fare. We also found a former gold miner's village, hillsides covered in nikau palms and pancake rocks. We rented a little old house with a garden that backed onto a deserted beach. The beach had the best (smooth and flat) pebbles! I thought of Margie and her crochet work- I think you'd love it there, M. What a beautiful and wild place the west coast is! I had forgotten.
Thanks for your kind words on my last post. During the school holidays I was feeling overwhelmed by everything and as though I had completely run out of steam with blogging. I'm feeling better now I've been away for a bit, though. Hope you had a great weekend.
