Latest installment of my walk to / from work after a wee break - off for easter and up to a wedding in Hawke's Bay which was fantastic. We had a great house perched up on Bluff Hill in Napier and had loads of barbies, wine and laughs. The wedding was held at the Te Awa Winery which was an wonderful venue and my first ever outdoor wedding - not something anyone from Scotland would be brave enough to do but the NZ summer is a bit more reliable - especially this one which has been amazing! Unless you're a farmer, of course. The wedding was topped off with a good swally of 21 year old Genfiddich Havana Reserve Single Malt - ay carumba! What a beauty!

Anyway, back down to earth with a band yesterday and today and the work carnage continues. This somewhat blurry blip is taken on the less pretty part of my walk to work when I take a short cut path along side and then under the motorway - not somewhere I want to be when the big earthquake eventually hits! The last biggie in Wellington was in 1855 which was reckoned to be 8.0 on the Richter scale which is some serious shaking and is still the biggest earthquake ever recorded in New Zealand. Luckily the city was only 15 years old then so I don't think anyone even died ( but I stad to be corrected by those in the know) but it did raise a lot of land which was reclaimed and half the CBD is now build on it as well as the ferry and cargo wharfs and terminals and the stadium so a similar sized one now could be devatasting! Beter get our emergency box of supplies put together like we're supposed to.....

Cheers all....
