We left Martinborough this morning but have booked in to the RIesling Retreat again for the 30th and 31st to spend the last 2 days of our time in Nz with Julia and Karen and David.

we nipped into Greytown to say good morning to David who was setting up his bric a brac stall for the day and then drove on to Palmerston North to pay a visit to nephew Sean, wife Anna, baby Emily and Taylor who is soon off to the UK to work. It has been 30 years since Sean and I last met..what a lovely person he is.

Andrew then drove on to Wanganui where we checked in to the Grand Hotel...very reminiscent of hotels I stayed in as a child and a bit in need of attention but a deal at 79 nz dollars! There is a summer music festival on so we have been walking the streets listening to jazz and blues...just a pity it isn't better weather.Off to the liquor shop now to get a nottle of some local wine...chin chin everyone...we miss you! xx
