…trying to explain to you how neat it was down The Sounds Sunday…
but let me tell you there was only two causalities in the whole day…
and they were both of the same breed. Two hats….not held down enough…
luckily one was rescued via hook and sinker but the other one…oh dear gone forever ….
….challenging….and yet another excuse to get out and about in the Nelson region!
over the holiday break…
…..but let me tell you this sure was not normal
for NZs most decorated Sunshine capital.
Vs the UK…well heres a comment?
In fact don’t take it just from me.
Turns out NZ had the warmest winter ever in 2013, and according to stats….the 2nd warmest year on record.
Puts a bit of perspective (no disrespect intended) onto how others are being treated this Northern Hemisphere winter I suggest?
I suggest reading further - a substantiated and not exactly inconsequential figure has been provided;
After compiling data from 22 land stations and three islands, Dr Salinger said that he found the annual mean temperature was nearly one degree higher than average.
Wow that’s a serious figure as far as world wide terms are considered. (Google it to chk the facts)
Considering what's happening to the world wide weather….your window to buy a property in what some are suggesting might become the Southern Hemispheres new “Mediterranean” is really and truly ….& quite literally …..slowly disappearing! But hey there can be REAL advantages too!!!!
….Arts and Crafts show sure packed hundreds…
….if not thousands (judging by how long and far….it took to find a parking spot?) into a sunny Nelsonians day out of town! See you there next year for the 37th one. #gigatownNSN
as one of the coolest retro styled housebus’es in New Zealand,
parked up at Tahuna Beach Holiday Camp, the largest motor camp in the southern hemisphere….so yes, its quite a big place down at the seaside.
…and most aesthetically pleasing roadside power box is in Nelson,
…just adjacent and to the north eastern side of Victory Square park. #gigatownNSN
…is the perfect place to buy locally produced items. And that includes food….mainly a’la fruit and veges, join hundreds of other Nelsonians who do the same thing on their regular weekly visit.
Although it is interesting to note, in the same vein…… that at least one local supermarket, Fresh Choice, has a commitment to do something similar. Good on them I say. #gigatownNSN
…great time to cast out on the incoming tide right now. Smoked fish on the menu later today?
…well thats undoubtedly what these locals were saying
Thursday afternoon in Nelson #gigatownNSN
the bay, the force of the wind in Tasman Bay
on Tuesday afternoon meant these folk were having a great time.
Just summer in #gigatownNSN
me more than it should have …but still it felt good when I spotted it at the lights. But hey, if someone has to do it….the good guy award today goes to Mr Honda.
