fair start, stormy end

A group ride today, going up a side valley called Long Acre. The first two photos are returning down the valley. The bank had slipped..a fence renewed..and then a couple of months ago, more rain and tremors. 

We are learning to be aware of even small tremors now.

The afternoon was spent gardening, as a thankyou for a bike loaned in January and February. The Pirate gave our friend's mower some tlc...and tested it by mowing his lawns! I did some weeding and sweeping.

Home again by bike and this was the sky across the Whanganui Valley...rain tonight I think, and possibly tomorrow.
