Looking East Again

Yesterday afternoon we went for drinks at the neighbours'. What a lovely couple. Maria and Hubert immigrated from Germany about 35 years ago, back before my beloved and I had even met. They ran a sizable farm with 50 fruit trees and various herds of animals before they sold up, travelled for a year, then enriched the neighbourhood by settling here in Scotts Landing. We very much enjoyed spending a couple of hours with them and look forward to seeing them again!

The clouds are moving very, very quickly across the sky. Apparently we're in for some cold weather over the next couple of weeks. According to a meteorologist, this is July weather a couple of weeks late. There'll be heavy snow down on the South Island. We won't get that here, but windchills will be significant. Good thing we have warm clothes!
