Views of the Mountain

I spent the weekend back in Taranaki at a full immersion Maori language weekend. It was fantastic and particularly wonderful being with friends and seeing the mountain every day.

And here it is again, in a slightly different form.  This is how we learned the names of five rivers running from the mountain to the sea, all their marae, communities and sub-tribes.

China, Spain and Greece

This is the middle weekend of our annual two week food festival, Wellington on a Plate.  It has kind of passed me by but today I did go out to the Food Truck Rally to get some lunch and it turns out, dinner too.  So, dumplings, churros, spanakopita and baclava.  Yum.

As you can see the weather is not that flash, what you can't see is a biting southerly. 

I really love that I live in a city where the official weather warnings include (regularly) whether the wind is strong enough to take your trampoline. 

Yesterday - Sleet

Today - this...

Tomorrow - who knows.
