Up earlyish and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast before setting about the final packing, prepping and checking.  Suddenly remembered camera club competition entries are due on Monday when I will be away so did a quick prep and delivered to J who will take the print to club meeting for me.  Surprised myself by actually leaving not too long after midday which I was pleased with.  House looking spic and span for house-sitter J.......feeling very fortunate to have found her at such short notice.  Drive over to Marlborough (have decided to go down the east coast) was lovely - sunny, warm......perfect weather to start this mini-break.

This shot taken on road leading to Marfells Beach, home for the night tonight.
