On arrival in Turangi we discovered that our ''herb'' garden was thriving - and this achieved without any human intervention whatsoever. Hurrah! Lettuce and parsley on tap from now on...
The weather was glorious, apart from a very, very cold wind coming straight off the mountain (all weekend). We had brought a trailer load of sand up, and had no choice but to get out in the wind and prepare a place to put it. So on Sunday morning we levered ourselves out of our armchairs and forced ourselves out into the weather. It took a fair bit of effort and we shared the digging, but we were pleased with the eventual result!
We're still considering our options about paving it. Watch this space!The following morning we went for a walk along the river. Colourful, crisp and chilly are the words that best describe it. Mostly crisp and chilly!

On our way home, we stopped off and picked up a treadmill which M bought off the web. Once we'd got it home, it was time for a wee try. The good news is that it works, and works well, and so far at least, is definitely not a ''Lemon". Watch this space for further good news in that department...!
We had a drink or two for Liz, toasted her good health and wished her a very happy birthday. After all, isn't that the point of the weekend? We certainly enjoyed the day off she organised for us, and are looking forward to the next one.
