Morning out

A drive out today to get used to driving an automatic car again, and see a friend in Leeston....and lunch in the Red Barn cafe in Rakaia, which place we get to on SH1 over  a 2 km long bridge, over a braided river.
 Ancient and modern?
 Salmon!




 Getting gardening ideas
 Giant hamster wheel!!
 In the playpark.. Pirate's brother had one of these tractors, but with a petrol engine. Yes, the wheels are fixed on the wrong way!!
 Cropping the verge..waste not....but on the other hand not good for wildlife
 A wee hedge
 A real moover!
 If you have a ginormous hedge, you need a ginormous hedge trimmer...
It was decidedly hot today, over 30C...we had a siesta after getting back...a very good practice for this weather...as is rising early to be active when it's cooler.

    I will post a photo when I can, but in the meantime Wikipedia has a good description of braided rivers...a bit like plaited hair, just that it's water!
