I see from the N.Z news on the internet things not too good in your part of the World. Bad storms in Auckland and a quake in Wellington - hope all is well with you. Regards Roger aka coachman

Hi there,

I just wanted to wish you guys all the very best for Xmas and happy and safe new year.
As I type this I know you haven’t woken up to Xmas, but I can tell you we have a beauty.
I walked on the beach this morning with the 2 dogs and at 9am it was already quite crowded with people setting up BBQ’s and Xmas picnics. It is about 23 degrees and sunny, 2 to 3 knots on shore breeze and the pohutukawa’s (NZ’s Xmas tree) are in full bloom, and frankly, you couldn’t ask for more.
I am now just waiting for the cook to serve while I patiently wait, with a red in hand!.

All the best guys, look forward to another years photos and repartee.

Mike
