We left the Rotorua CT Club at 9am and headed to Taupo and then onto Erikson Camp in Napier. Later that afternoon Bryan and Mo arrived and we settled into a relaxing night.
The next morning we were off to Crab Farm Winery where we meet two delightful ladies who were grieving due to the death of one's brother and the others husband. We thought we were going to strengthen them while consoling them but then they started ministering and speaking prophetic words over the four of us.
We later drove out to Elephant Hills Winery that was across the road from our beach-front two night stopover site.
The wonderful sunset, and a lovely calm night plus great fellowship ended a beautiful day. TYL.Read more

After spending 2nites at Clifton, Freedom Camping on the beach (sorry, no fish caught) we moved onto Hastings for showers and "dump" and then past the Craggy Range Winery where our previous PM was getting married that day and onto Ocean Beach. This is a non publicised POP camp... yeah right . I had managed to aquire information on it plus the code to get through the gate, to find the camp packed with motorhomers! Fortunately they all left the next day to get back to work, leaving it for Bryan and Moana, Christine, me, and Cyrus... awesome!! .. and right on the beach. Needless to say we went fishing where I caught a small Kahawai that I returned... but we caught plenty of ants.. ouch!!
Onto the Country and Western 3day Festival in Marton starting in three days time, On the way we overnighted at Danneverk Golf Club.... and now here we are... two days before kick off, surrounded by camper vans with thousand more people expected to arrive over the next 30hours .. bring it on.
ps.. my mullet hasn't grown that well sadly!!Read more

You are living the dream Maurice and Christine. Hope the rain doesn’t affect your C & W concert too much, always can retire to the Comanche and stay dry. Enjoy. [John and Marian Lee]
