Ealing NZMCA

Yesterday didn't give us much to talk about. We just wandered around the countryside but we didn't cover any new territory. Only one thing to comment on for yesterday was the disappointment I felt when I saw what was the very pretty church at Winchester (I always called it Winchester Cathedral!) It's now missing it's steeple and is a house. Truly disappointing!
So onto today, a much better day. We set out late morning to explore Temuka. We checked out the Temuka Pottery shop and didn't discover anything we wanted to buy. It's improved over the years but not enough to want to own it. Further wandering through town brought us to the local cemetery where we went for a walk and we found some relatives- my father's uncle and cousin.
Our next stop was Mt Hutt. Wow!!! It was very high, a mucky road, and lots of cloud, above us, below us and all around us!
There was even snow!!
We explored Methven on our way home.
All in all it was a good day discovering some interesting new places.
Tomorrow probably Kaiapoi.Read more
