Thursday 8th

Well, today was my first day 'out on my own' - my hosts lent me their car so I could drive over to Wanganui to visit my cousins Andy and Barabara. Not seen them for ages! So good to catch up with them and just sit chatting in the shade of their veranda, listening to the cicadas churring, the trees sighing in the breeze... bliss.
The countryside on the drive is all very flat, with a few lumpy bits here and there. Wide open agricultural land with the odd house sitting all alone in the sun. Drove thru a village called Bull where there seemed to be a running pun going on with the businesses: rent-a-bull (estate agent? car hire?) forgive-a-bull (the church) etc...
Then, back at Palmy in the evening went out with my hosts and a friend to an excellent turkish restaurant - the things one misses living in Hereford!!! he he!
