Look what I did

So by popular demand here are some pics from the last month or so of being home.First off, some old haunts of mine from well over 7 years ago.Verona Verona my old fave cafe...& still pretty darn cool for people watching (but the one around the corner in St Kevin’s Arcade has better natural viewsThe Old Local The Thirsty Dog...I’d hate to think how much money I’ve spent there.The Old Hunting Range Margaritas...You could get some great rump steak there but the sausages were very dodgy at times.Where I fell off Albert Park This is to help people visualise the “I fell off Albert Park” story...didn’t break any bones...natural athlete.Wee Little Auckland Here’s a view of Auck from Mt Wellington...Welcome to the burbs!

Well that’s Auckland...All 1.3 mill of it. So I headed off to the big smoke of Thames to make sure my bro got married, catch up with family, kill a tree...oh and Xmas.

Mum & Dad's Place

My folks place.Karaka ValleyThames Sunset

Complete with native bush & birds…It’s pretty cool at sunset as well.

 

The Perfect Afternoon Snack Not the main reason I came home...but pretty high on the list.

We went for a road trip to visit my nieces & nephew.

Cowboy Righteous Rod Rides again

Righteous Rod Rides Again!!! To be honest I don’t know which of the 3 look like they want to be there less.

The Kids Mum, Dad, Kel & I The Angry Dragon...Tauranga style. Mum, Dad, Kel & I in the Waihi mine.

 

My Old Backyard On the way home stopped in at the old farm...Now THAT is what I call a backyard!

The Tree Dad & I killed Puffed Rodis While home I decided to try to get fit by playing tag with the kids & helping Dad kill a tree, one worked quite well one didn’t

 

 

Now the main reason for me coming home early. To welcome Olivia to the Whanau & make sure Murray went through with it.The Tuck's get another

Security Detail Kel & I were on security detail...We were later informed it was more of a usher kind of role...but that was after we had not let Uncle Pete in because he was wearing the wrong shoes...Sorry Uncle Pete but next time don’t wear flip-flops to a wedding!
