Secret Garden

The Secret Garden

Now that we have established a place to stay and getting in the groove of living in the city, now we are exploring the area. We typically walk down into Newtown daily for groceries and to browse the shops. But one day, we went out the back door, and instead of heading into Newtown, went the opposite direction.
As soon as we stepped off of the Pickled Parrot Lodge's property, we saw a trail.
That's right a trail. Among trees. A footpath. Among foliage! AND TREES!
And it is literally in our backyard.
But oh where will it take us?

Into Kilbernie of course.
What's that blue? Why, it's the BAY!


You might notice from the pictures that everything is green and ... not dead. It's WINTER.



It's about 50F every day since we've been here. It gets close to 60 on nicer days. There has been some rain but most days are simply GORGEOUS.

It looks like I photoshopped this photo but I didn't!




Winter in Wellington. They complain about the weather here... I think kiwis are spoiled!

Your pix are brilliant. They remind me of my great 2 1/2 week visit to NZ when my daughter lived there. I wrote you before - probably on Etsy or maybe on this blog. She lived in Tawa, Wellington. So your local photos brought back Tawa memories. And of course we traveled all over the place, so all your pix are appreciated!
Have fun - and happy spring to you!
