Raro

Backtracking a bit to show you some images from Rarotonga last month.

Timely, dont you think!

The cutest thrift shop in the world. in a beach hut...still going strong.

Saturday morning market....

you can't go wrong with that background.

Jogging along

My mini-etsy travelling shop has been jogging along.

A few sales that give me an excuse to visit any Op-shop I come across

 and an opportunity to seek out Kiwi post offices. I like the small POs best.

Neat 1950s ties are about, more than in Canada I find.

Busy busy.....

Its all happening,

in all kinds of weather,  

at all times of the day and night,

beneath my kitchen window,

in Port Nelson, New Zealand.

   The tugs chugging out tell me there's going to be action!

I never tire of the activity

even when the crashing and banging of loading and unloading of containers keep me awake all night.
In fact, I find it rather comforting.

Off to the North Island next week.

Sarau

Lots of choice of refreshments

at the Sarau blackcurrant festival last weekend.

R visited the hop farmers!

  I am not a beer drinker and it was too hot to knock back the local vino

but the day was saved by the good ladies of the Upper Moutere Tennis Club.

Thanks girls!
