Distant-Mono

In the distant  land of Japan is the sister city for Motueka called Kiyosato. This is the little tea house and gardens that we have in honour of the relationship. Visits between the two places have been going on for about 20 years at a guess.
Anyway, it is my contribution to MM. I was walking so took the SX50 for a ride. So much lighter and it fits in my bigger hand bag which I can zip up against the showers that have plagued us all day. Much worse further south with heavy rain and snow. We are heading north on Wednesday for a wedding so hope it is settled by then.
I will take the SX50 now I have refamiliarised myself with the controls.
A couple of extras- kids swings in the rain and my glasses when I got home.
I have a kotuku on Popular page one and also Page 3. A first for me. Thanks to all of you.
Thanks too to Nickimags88 for MM.
