Reunited!

No, the title is NOT a reference to Man U's debacle at the hands of Bayern Munich.
I'm talking about the Taumarunui Road Trip.
Left Wed 7.30am, returned about 1pm Fri.
Alone on the road travelling to and thru new spaces!
Pirongia, Whatawhata, Te Kuiti (sheep shearing capital of the world, so they say!), Otorohanga (nice cafe with the current holy grail of Peppermint Slice on offer!) and, the Goal, Taumarunui itself.
Many good times with Chris, Joke and Gemma-good-girl-dog (who gave me a wonderful scalp lick on Thu evening).
Visited the hillside, Whakapapa, the Incline and had introductions to Sir Paul's recent output (really good stuff!) and Vegan cuisine (likewise!).
Best thing was the time spent, the warm love, the humour.
Feeling better overall too, tho cramps invade from time to time.
Temperature very COLD!!!
Love,
G.
