Stonehenge pictures








More pictures, this time from the last few days of our holiday which, as is always the case, seems very distant now that we are back home.
There are 2 pictures of the rocks at Stonehenge. No explanation needed for these.
The frying pan contains that great British delicacy: black pudding. I am informed that this can be purchased from Kaitaia's infamous Saturday market.
The picturesque village green was at Crawley just north of Winchester, near to our campsite.
Finally, we have Ian and Paddy. I cannot remember what the joke was....

Meanwhile fast forward to Kaitaia and we are enjoying a spell of good weather. Atropical cyclone went over on Tuesday but we were not badly affected, just a bit of overnight rain. We all went for a fish last night at Aurere beach. The low tide was at 4.30pm which was perfect as it was cooler. We had suggested going overnight and camping on the beach, but this got a big thumbs down from the boys, so we compromised with an evening fish. We certainly had some fish, taking home 3 kahawai, but more significantly caught several snapper. I had assumed that snapper are not caught off accessible rocks any more. Chantelle caught the first but it was a bit small, so after some discussion we put it back. We reckon now that it was well over the legal limit. We caught some more undersize ones. I had a large one on but it dropped off as we tried to land it - rats!

The rest of the days have passed by in a whirl of cleaning, washing, lawn mowing, floor painting, cooking etc etc. I personally looking forward to going back to school - too much multitasking going on at home!
Til next week.
