Hoons.

We went to the market in Nelson. It is a colourful and creative place which gives an idea of the folks who live here. Browsing in town, met Marion's Mum in one of the shops and was nice to see her as she lived with Glen and Marion in our caravan for a few months in Scotland.
We had a terrific lunch with The McNeillys at their beautiful hillside house, sitting at their Italian style long table out in the garden. Their house is a sun magnet, which looks out over the Abel Tasman, and as we were leaving, the sun was setting between the palm trees at the top step of their deck.
We walked (Marion and Spook ran) to The Centre of New Zealand. The picture is of the children standing at the point which is half way between the bottom of the South Island and the top of the North Island. Jessica-Anne tried to leg it out of the picture. The view is of Nelson with these houses looking out to sea, right of picture. We picked figs from a tree growing wild next to the track.
The children let fart-bombs off at the view point, while couples relaxed and whispered sweet nothings in each others ears.
