I had booked to go to a 4 string music festival months ago up at Kawhia in the North Island and therefore spent some time getting Clowning Around #2 out of mothballs and ready to go.
But first the Waimea Menz Shed were showing how to make boxes and other knick knacks at the Mitre 10 garden event.
These three women had no trouble knocking up their boxes without men’s help.
Very good with hammer marks, but I don’t think they even noticed.
Another Menz Shed event. Helping provide food for 160 KTM riders who were on a off road and on road rally around the top of the South Island
We couldn’t get the borrowed barbeques to work so we rushed to get our own home barbies which did the trick.
Now fresh off the Ferry and intending to parkup where we usually do, at the Evans Bay free parkup, but unfortunately the WCC has made the area smaller and therefore it was full, so I headed out towards Miramar and found a much better secluded spot in Shelly Bay.
Part of this area had been gifted to the local Maori Iwi tribe as a Treaty of Waitangi settlement, and is still awaiting development.
The city art galley (with the big hand on top) and the city library to its left is under refurbishment. The artificial grass, that you see in the lower corner, is a lunchtime soccer pitch which is a terrific idea. And yes I did feel like joining in!
Another of our favourite spots is Ngatitoa domain in Paremata, which is an easy drive north from Wellington City
Onwards North to park at the mouth of the Patea River, which as you can see, is a black sand beach.

These murals are in Whanganui, I think they are all new since our last visit a few years ago.
Murals give a vibe to a place and add art and colour...I do my best in that department!
That’s all for this NZ Blog,
Next, Dawson Falls, Hollard and Pukeiti Gardens, and New Plymouth.
Till then.
Stay safe, have fun, and be creative.
Jimu & Christine.
