some ratbag stole my seat
The Taylor family went out to our holiday home on Sunday night. I awoke on Monday morning and pulled open the curtains on this view.
The sun was streaming in and I slowly made my way to find a cup of tea.
The neighbouring holiday house has a wide, wooden step. Just right for sitting on, out of the wind, soaking up the morning sun. The wooden seat is aged and weathered, just right for a slow journal, a quiet savour of some Merton.
Alas the neighbouring holiday house has just been brought. I’ve lost my seat!

I can picture it; and what a lovely spot to read Merton. He would, I imagine, have been pleased.

Steve,
Do you have beaches in NZ/Aoe?

Andrew, of course there are no beaches in NZ, we are a completely landlocked nation 🙂

That reminds me. I was going to ask for my next OS trip, is NZ anywhere near France?

Well, Andrew, it depends on which map and how you hold your map. For some, we are in the centre of middle earth, which is nowhere near France. If you are euro-centric, then you’ll find NZ below France. If you have Kingdom eyes, then you’ll find us at the top of world, way above France.

OK so if I have ‘kingdom eyes’ I can fit in Siberia, France and Middle Earth for the weekend. Now what currency do you use? Tallents, Rocks or US Dollars!!
I like you Kiwis. Especially when you play us Aussies in World Cup Semi Finals!
