It was a great drive to the land of Maniototo. It is otherwise known as 'a timeless land'. The vastness and emptiness of the place never fails to impress. I thought I would include some pictures of Finns team mates + a flicker of the ginger locks. The eyes in the hat belong to Thomas and the wee guy with the ball on the Maniototo side was very, very fast. Our boys lost but had a very determined and succesful start which broke down eventually. The boy with the moustache is Hank. He plays an amazingly determined game every moment, every time and we reckon the 'tash was designed to scare the opposition. It certainly made them wonder! The Upper Clutha boy in the middle with the ball - Hamish - got player of the day.
Finn and I took a wee detour home as he said Rohan, from Lord of the Rings was along this road. We climbed a hill and came round a corner and he said "that's it!!!!". He is sure that this is where the King of Rohan lived. He was pretty chuffed with himself. It is the murky picture.
John is staying the night and he, Finn, Max and another boy are playing outside in the dark with a torch and some moonlight. It's hide and seek with a spotlight.
grateful for:
wide open spaces.
