Sugar cane and gargoyles


A quick trip to Wellington to see the whanau before the end of the school holidays.  I became the onion woman, so many layers, just to keep warm. The wind was freezing.
How many layers...
1x pair woollen stockings,
2x pairs of socks,
1x pair woollen trousers,
1x merino singlet
2x merino longsleeve top
1x fleece hoodie
1 x wool coat
1 x scarf
gloves and boots

Despite the weather, we braved the dampness, and got some apples at the Hutt market.  I also found sugar cane, the seller grows it in a hothouse. Not as sweet as what we have enjoyed in Fiji, but delicious just the same.
Dunkirk is at the cinema, so while in Wellington, the Embassy Theatre entertained us in glorious art deco style, even the toilets are fabulous.  The seat in the theatre weren't that comfortable, the movie was great.

On the drive back on Sunday, gargoyles were discovered outside of Levin.  I have wanted one for such a long time.
