church today was followed by a quick dash in to the village for the ANZAC day service. Esther is a school leader so needed to be there to help lay the flowers.
it was in the local community hall which made for some great signage. And it was really busy so we had to stand all the way through. still, it was a lot warmer than the Rememberance day services in the UK !
after the service there were big sponge cakes and sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
we didn’t eat any, but instead we went back to some friends’ house for pizza and chatting. both of which were jolly good.
after that we drove down to Devonport and had a walk along the beach
it’s still really warm – the car said 26degC, although it started to cool off later. it was still warm enough to justify an ice-cream though !
that thing above is not an ice-cream. it’s a tree weta which was splatted on a footpath we walked down.
and just as we nearly got back to the car this giant cruise ship (seen in yesterday’s bus photo) came round the corner.
this evening i went out to the first of four seminars on the life of Paul. this picture was taken before everyone turned up. i sat on a sofa which was nice. and the seminar was excellent !
by the way, i’ve still got one more day of easter holiday photos to show you – hopefully i’ll get them up this week.
