Holidays

Term 2 finished & the holidays have begun. Janine & Philip came over for a couple of nights over Easter. Janine wanted to get a long training walk in for the Rotorua Marathon, but didn't trust herself to do it alone in Taupo, so she & Bunny made an early start on Saturday for a 30k trek. The weather was ideal, & Janine managed it very well. I never know how she does these things without regular training. While she & Bunny were doing their bit, Maurie & Co were doing an ultra event through the back roads from Whakatane to Taupo. I know there'll be so many stories about how they were denied first place in their category because of equipment malfunction! But I can testify to some last minute repairs the night before. I managed to get a good walk in on Saturday, & I hope that I can do more over the holidays. Easter Sunday saw another great day, & after Leigh had returned from her cycle challenge it was all on for the Easter egg hunt. This time Waitapu was here for her second Easter with us, & Philip enjoyed his first Easter celebrations here. After the collection it was time to share the goodies. As usual Leigh does her best to get more than her share. All too soon it was time for Janine & Philip to leave for home, & for Leigh to head in the same direction to pick up the cross country cyclists. Bring on more good weather, so I can do more walking & maybe get into the garden.
