"After what seems an eternity since I last went bird spotting, I managed to get myself out to Silverstream 2 afternoons in a row! I can't believe how many kingfishers are around but most of the time, they have been too far away on the powerlines to get decent photos of but it was a bonus today seeing one on a post in the driving range car park!
I have also spent some time watching the pesky blackbirds and waxeyes munch their way through the grapes on the grapevine."

It's a veritable bog when it rains, while the grandkids love splashing mud everywhere I can't get past it with clean shoes. I could make you a cake in return for the trip, or a batch of scones (sweet or cheese), or biscuits if that's your preference. Please and thank you in advance, hit me up!

Heretaunga where sports stars are renowned
World class institute where talent is found.
From rugby to cricket, the athletes train
Pushing themselves to achieve the highest gain.
Trentham, famous for its racing ground
Where horses gallop with speed unbound.
A movie production complex adds to the fame
Creating masterpieces with talent and game.
Military encampment with soldiers in line
Protecting the country with courage and shine.
Trentham Park is a great green memorial
Activities for people and dogs that is memorable.
Growing commercial importance with businesses around
Making progress with developments profound.
And when the day is done and the sun settles low
Heretaunga and Trentham are both stealing the show.
