Here she comes…

Bean and I had a lovely walk on friends’ farm this afternoon. I was doing some tidying up in their garden and we took time out for a stroll in the sun.

A stroll isn’t in Bean’s nature of course. She hurtled to and fro; nose down and tail up.

When I called, her head came up and she careered towards the slim chance of a treat.

The extra is view across one of their paddocks up to a limestone outcrop above. There are rock drawings under many of the overhanging rocks hereabouts: cryptic human figures which it is thought were created by the very earliest Polynesians to arrive in NZ - not necessarily people who settled here.
