Cows steaming in the cold air against the sunlight
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.

Summer has come to an official end, and one can tell. The nights are getting colder, the fog in the morning gets more, although beautiful to watch.

Half of January is over, and you be wondering what we have been up to.

A walk on our local backyard beach, Muriwai Beach. Home to a gannet colony and lovely black sand with beautiful sunsets across the ocean.
Pink clouds over a valley covered in fog with trees sticking out of the fog
Crisp winter mornings are fun to watch with the fog and the clouds moving, building up and disappearing again.

Found some Rosellas and Mr Naughty was over at the neighbour’s and was thinking what to do with the pheasants but decided quickly to let them be and carry on.

A memorable sunset // NZ commences a few weeks of ‘lockdown’ in attempt to flatten the curve to fight Coronavirus.
Green parrot-like bird with red head on a timber balustrade
Sometimes we have pretty little visitors, like those rosellas, parakeets or phesants. Today some rosellas flew by and landed on the deck balustrade.
They hang around, don’t go too far away from their herd and very easily follow you back into the paddock after you opened the gate for them.
A rainbow rising through the fog at our place this morning
Tatjana took a lovely picture this morning and it’s too cool not to share it. Makes you appreciate nature and our lovely spot again. And another example that mornings can be very special and energizing, even though Tatjana would not agree on that one.
We could not have asked for a better and more beautiful night for our May bonfire. We invited some friends for Walpurgis night, the last night in April.

This is just an example of the lovely sunsets here.
