It is our holiday season in New Zealand and I have just had a week away in the Bay of Plenty (North Island). During the week Fred was moved to the hospital wing of Nazareth House (next door). He is contented there and will get the extra care that he requires. It being Sunday, today, we will take him out to dinner using the wheelchair.
Near the eastern end of the Bay of plenty is Opotiki where my brother-in-law, Bob, lives. He is the overweight white haired man in the center of the picture. Last Wednesday night he invited me to come to watch the "Twilight Bowls" at the local greens. He comes from Glasgow. I have known him since I was 10, when he became a "second father" to me and he is full of laughs.

From Opotiki, I moved inland to Rotorua, where my mother is buried. This was my first chance to take a photo of her headstone. We kept the design simple and summerized her life in a few words and symbols.
Then it was on to the western Bay of Plenty to see more family and friends. This is a picture of Waihi Beach. Sharks were swimming about a 100 metres to the left of this surfer where there is a sewerage outfall. I presume that the surfees knew all about that.I returned to Christchurch, Yesterday, with stories for my community of 'A Vietnam Veteran and Agent Orange', of 'A Widow's Revenge' and of 'Sharks in the Surf'.
