FROST

 Holy hell... cooooold.


ABOVE: The first really decent frost I've seen all year.
-4 degrees here in Kinloch.

ABOVE: Uncle Frank cooking our breakfast. Bacon, eggs and hash browns. Spoiling us.


ABOVE: Such a gorgeous place on a cloudless, windless winter's day! 
We've come into town for a little walk around.

There's a market on again.

ABOVE: This stall made us smile. Nice platter boards too. Shame we don't  need one.

When you can't make up your mind which is the best photo to post....






ABOVE: Waves. And bubbles. And a mountain in the distance.

Just bought a couple of dust catchers in a gift shop. πŸ€ͺWHY???? πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜–

ABOVE: THE BIRTH OF THE Waikato River.
 
edit:  I stand corrected.  It's where the Waikato River exits Lake Taupo and starts it's journey through the Waikato to the sea at Port Waikato.
I was brought up to believe this is is where the Waikato River starts though, so I might just keep 'believing' that.


ABOVE: Taupo Marina. Beautiful place.

ABOVE: My dear friend Sharon.  We spent a lovely time together.  
Now we are heading home.

ABOVE:  Sundown... half way home.

7.30 pm:  Safely home.  Unpacked.  Updated social media.  Blankie on.  Thinking about snacks for dinner.  πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜πŸ˜‹

Catch ya tomorrow.

  1. Mmmmm. Hashbrowns. I am a sucker for them! As I sit here and LAUGH about your "chilly" day. At that temp I wear wool socks with sandals. My rule is if I get snow on my toes I upgrade to Uggs! My unfortunate winter weather becomes klife threatening in minutes. Why do I live here? I may need to become a snowbird. Move to warmer climate for the winter! A warmer climate would include your weather today! Not fussy!

    The Waikato river rises in the eastern slopes of Mount Ruapehu, joining the Tongariro River system and flowing through Lake Taupō, Audrey

    Lovely, lovely photos. It looks a wonderful place to be and temperature wise cool. Here in Italy, as in the rest of Europe we are still experiencing an unprecedented heatwave and drought. Roll on Autumn/Winter. Hugs Ro xx

  17. Beautiful photos of the waves. The frost looks very cold. We are still in the 30s here in Wales UK and would love some rain. We are not used to this heat.
