The Hokianga

The calm, the beautiful, the deserted Hokianga. Beautiful West Coast of New Zealand.

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors 26

Inside the church at Kerikeri, Northland, New Zealand. The European settlers came to NZ two hundred years ago, and this church was one of the first in New Zealand, but I think this was a later window, judging by the style.

The Treaty of Waitangi is the founding document of New Zealand, signed in 1840 between Britain and the Maori tribes. This is the house it was signed in.

Back from the North

We have just returned from our holiday in the far north of New Zealand. Photos in the next few days, but in the meantime, here is a Tui in Kororareka (Russell in the Bay of Islands).

Right of Way Issues

Recently, our "priority right" road rule changed in New Zealand. Obviously, the cats are little behind on this.......

The land of the North

We're going on holiday to the far north, so see you in a week, with lots of photos and stories

Sunday purrsuits, up a tree fiddley diddley

Firstly, I chased the "Gay Oriental" cat from next door up at tree.

He thought that was fun, so he returned the favour. I could only exit the tree onto the neighbour's boundary fence. Then I disappeared for 3 hours in the wilderness of the house next door. Much fretting was done in our house by "Mother of cats"

Grandpa puss and big sister puss ran around looking for me






















I believe I am now "grounded", so I'm catching up with some beauty sleep before the next foray in to the wilds of northern Wellington. "Mother of cats" is threatening to drink a large gin and tonic to steady her nerves. I prefer milk myself.

Winter is arriving

Ruppin Stamp Cat

They don't feed me you know!

Stamps are so comfy to sleep on

Now what did I do with that Penny Red?
