Gandalf the Grey

‘All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’ – Gandalf the Grey


It wasn't all doom and gloom today. In fact we had a lot of sun, some sun showers and it was tropical temperatures. 30mm more rain overnight but no more problems for our region. Others didn't get off so lightly but Cyclone Cook wasn't as bad as expected. I for one am pleased we were warned, others feel they went over the top. Well I would rather be warned then not. So all those Aucklanders who complained can button their lips.


We got two walks in today. This image was as we were hurrying back to the car from the estuary gardens with Gandalf high against the clouds building up on the Takaka Hill.
