NAPIER
Had coffee with the Simpson and the Turners in Napier at a lovely but very busy coffee shop. Beautiful day and the gardens were lovely.

WELLINGTON
In Wellington I had my closest friend all through school come onboard. Not see her for about 50 years. We had fun catching up but I think the husbands were a little tired of our fun memories.

CHRISTCHURCH

Christchurch was VERY windy, But we had a great sheep dog demonstration. The dog went right up a high and very steep hill so quickly. He obeyed all the whistle blows. left, right and stop. Got the sheep all the way down right to the group. Excellent experience. Then into a lovely farm cottage built in the 1800's for sausage rolls, shortbread and tea or coffee. They opened up the house for everyone to see including the bedroom. THen a tour of Christchurch. We did not stay in town the wind was very strong, and we have been there many times.

A new puppy.
