Wow what a bloody flippin rockin whacker of a birthday!
We just got back from Martinborough, which is just north of Wellington in the wine trail area.
We scooted out there yesterday morning and arrived at Tirohana Estate
Where we were staying for the night..
I was given by chance a full, expenses paid overnight stay here with John and Wigs. Thanks very much Marg and Bea.. My god, I freaked out when I saw what we were getting..
The photos explain so much, but not nearly as amazing as this pad through the eye.. Whoa!
A very special thanks to Toby, Saranne and Bob for the wonderful welcoming vibe we received from them.. Bloody amazing place!! Will definitely be promoting to countless of friends who come over here..
Peter & Hillary….. This could be a great place to go for the illustrious HONEYMOON!!?????


This is not really a video, but audio from sunrise at the vineyard. We also hear this every morn at our place during spring/summer.. hope you like..

These are mostly high resolution panorama shots from my camera..

Hope you like..

We rocked in and were given a nice bottle of wine and a cheese plate to much on..Mighty fine..

I got up in the wee hours and took some shots whilst taking Wigs for a walk.

Talking about Wigs, we ahd no one to look after her so  I thought I would give it a go, expecting them to say no.. “Would it be ok to bring her along??” They6 bloody well said yes and along she came.. she stayed in the car for the night and grooved with us during the days..

 

The House on the left was where we were and the restaurant and vineyard office on the right..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is BOB, also known famously for the doggy in The Tribe I believe..Wigs got on well with him and seemed happy to chill out by the back of the restaurant.. how convenient..

 

 

Small but luxurious birds house.

American gothic with blue.

 

Good birthday dinner.. 5 course meal with everything..

Helen and i were both at M10 and knew how to enjoy the work there..

Her and Mayik were from Tauranga, along with Narni and Tyke.. We became very good mates as she lived near me and we had similar times off..

Unfortunately things didn’t work out that well down here, she missed her mates and family up nth, so sold their wonderful house in NaeNae also called the Ewok tree house and moved back last week.I will miss them both greatly as we don’t have that many good friends here and finally found these guys..

POO!

Hey at least I have a place up in Sunny Tauranga.. Yes there are waves up therre..Can’t wait till summer rolls in and I’m up there..

Anyhoo, we had a great bash at the Petone Firemans’s arms with all the regular crew from M10..

Will miss you greatly Guys!!

Yes that is a portable #$@!#@ in a box..

For some reason, the management crew at M10 spent a little too long looking at this and grasping the box..

Hmmmm what does this say??

Crossing the Hutt river early in the winters morn..

The fog did not lift till 1pm..

This is the Long White Cloud in it’s splendor!

The Train system is pretty good here, mostly on time, although some of the trains go back to the 40’s.

If it’s good why change i say. Timetables for wellington’s trains here.
