Tutaki Valley

I must be getting old. As of yesterday I am a Great Aunt 4 times over.
I can't wait to visit Christchurch to cuddle the latest addition to my family.
CONGRATULATIONS to Cole and Sarah on the birth of their son Kale - and to Krysta for coping with being a Grandmother for the 3rd time.

Kiwilizzie picked me up this morning for breakfast at the Red Barn, then we took a drive up the Tutaki Valley. This is the kids swimming hole on the river there - though it'll be a good 6 months before anyone is swimming in it again. It was ICY cold up the valley this morning.
