followed by a visit to the marvellous Warkworth museum which we’ve often been to (usually to take visitors to look at the giant kauri) but never been in

it’s a fascinating (and classic kiwi) junk shop of a museum  and is marvellous

you may remember i mentioned there were plans to build some houses on the hill behind our house (to the right of our back garden).  well, it looks like we’ll be seeing houses to the left first as they’ve started clearing trees there.
