Spring time – so beautiful

Nothing much really has happened over the last few weeks and hence our updates have been rather sparse.

One thing did happen however: Think it really turned spring. The wet weather has subsided, the grass and trees are growing. The ducklings have grown too and learning to fly. Things are blooming and showing fresh juicy green.

And the Tuis come visiting for the harakeke.

Spring has arrived – with its usual mixed bag weather.

“If you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes.” Spring came with beautiful warm and sunny days, storm, hail, rain and sunshine in between. It was cold and a few hours later warm again and vice versa.

Winter done and dusted

There was nothing extraordinary to write about this winter, really. It’s not been too wet and not too dry, neither too cold or too warm. We had a few frosty nights and a few pretty rainy days but all in all it was reasonably warm and okay from a mud perspective.

And just like that it’s winter again

Feels like summer was just happening. Winter started off beautifully with warm days and sunshine over the long King’s birthday weekend.

Sunshine, rain and lots of grass

The sun has been more prevalent and the odd shower has helped all plants to grow a lot. It’s nice to see so much fresh green in various shades

He looks like a deer from the distance, he’s fluffy and friendly, but he’s a naughty escape artist who typically is to be found on the wrong side of the fence.

Frosty Days

The days have become short and cold, with some frosty mornings. Luckily, so far winter has not been as wet as last years.
