Adventures of the local kind

Last week was big and not necessarily in a good way.  On Tuesday we had more wild weather, closing the airport and all the schools.  Ok except for the fact that we were trying to get 8 authors in to town for our Children's Book Festival. On Wednesday I ticked 'bus replacing flight' off my bucket list - I got to Wellington ok but the fog descended late afternoon closing the airport.  Luckily you can drive to New Plymouth so the passengers of the 7.05pm flight got to know each other on the bus ride home.  Thursday we had a lovely evening with the Festival authors and a lot less weather.  On Saturday we had the Festival Finale with over 300 kids and their parents, nanas, big and little brothers and sister spread all through the museum doing drawing workshops, storytelling sessions and dress up performances.  Fabulous but exhausting.  The weather packed it in totally in the evening.

Sunday - not going anywhere, not doing anything - weather, perfect.
