Christmas in NZ

Adelle and I spent Christmas and new years in NZ over the holidays and it was lovely with nice mild temperatures and very little time spent in the city.

Christmas at Nana's.

Raglan
Raglan's new years parade. It was substantially better than standing amongst the sleazy sweaty throngs of subhumans in Sydney in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the spectacular waste of money that is the fireworks on the harbour bridge.

As usual there was plenty of things happening on the farm to keep one busy.

We were also kept busy horse riding, birdwatching, go karting, site seeing and fishing.

Not bad at all :-) Nice to see you online again. Great "Christmas at Nana's"-picture - the relaxed attitude is similar to Christmas in Balling ;-) The New Year parade looks truly action packed, was it planned that the dog would ride the horse facing backwards - that must having taken years to perfect!! ... ??
Best picture of the lot is IMG3537! :-)

Cheers AGL

Yes the dog on the horse is the regular highlight of the Raglan new years parade.
