MT’s been photoblogging this weekend at the Kaitoke Regional Park. This is just a five minute ride in the car from where we will. It’s an amazing place of natural beauty with plenty of walks and swimming holes in the river for those who want to cool off.
It’s hard to capture the sense of place [...]

Photoblogging backlog

Well bloggers I’m afraid that my holiday photoblogging is going to be pretty restricted until Bob comes back from his South Island tour – he’s been the master photographer and I need to pinch some of his images to give you a real flavour of Golden Bay. In the meantime, here’s a taste of the [...]
Houseblogging: Putting down roots
Posted in Houseblogging, Photoblogging on January 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It is starting to feel like the house is really putting down roots now and becoming part of the landscape. We don’t quite stick out like the sore thumb we did when the build was under way and with the surrounding landscape in the bloom of early summer it looks and feels good.
There is some [...]
Friends and neighbours
Posted in Photoblogging on November 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Getting close to neighbours is difficult as there are none close by. Therefore we have to make do with our four and two legged neighbours and friends to visit us.
To be honest I’m a bit upset with the real neighbours and owners of 42-47, our friendly beef cattle who’ve moved them up to the [...]
Him indoors
Posted in Photoblogging on November 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It should be said that life as a Domestic Executive would be dull without him indoors. Always there with a witty comment (not) as well as patience and understanding when the builders don’t comply with our project plan (not).
But moving has really brought a smile to his face and he’s taken to wearing his wellies [...]
Retrospective photoblogging: goodwill warship

Discerning readers of the domestic-executive blog have requested something other than house blogging. So here’s some retrospective photoblogging from 14 October.
It was one of those “you can’t beat Wellington days”. Sun was shining, a spring breeze and we were at peace with the world. There was high excitement on the harbour [...]
Photoblogging: crocodile magic

We’d heard about the crocs in Northern Queensland but it didn’t prepare us for the real thing. We saw them in the wild and also in a nature reserve and although didn’t quite get up close and personal we were close enough for comfort. For more on crocs…..http://www.crocodilian.com/

This last weekend was a four day break for us to blow out the candles for Liz’s birthday. We did what all good kiwis do for such occasions – head for the beach!
We were lucky enough to be invited to stay at some friends’ beach house at a remote location on the East Coast of [...]
Photoblogging: Karori Wildlife Sanctuary
Posted in Photoblogging on April 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
To make a change from the commute to Kaitoke this Sunday (we’ll be heading there on Wednesday instead) we headed off to one of Wellington’s gems – Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.
Karori Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected natural area where the bio-diversity of a square mile of forest is being restored. A predator-proof fence, specifically designed to [...]
