Friends from Germany have been here to visit, Juergen and Myriam, and tour around the Northern half of the North Island (Te Ika o Maui).
Myriam has documented their trip here
It has been great to see them, I last saw them in 2016 in Germany, and they were last here in 2005.
Finley has been, and is, in Switzerland checking in with the Uncles, Aunts and Grandparents.
I have been away with my mens group, and for dinner on Saturday with help from Andy, Coq au Vin, mash and beans.
And today the funeral of Ant Nevison, one of the Headless Chickens, a lovely man from an important time of my life.
