Visit to Masterton


















It was a lovely Sunday - the sun was shining, the sky was blue.

We decided to take a trip to the Wairarapa. Aunty Davinia came with us. First stop was the QEII park for lunch and a play.

Hannah was happy to talk to the ducks and feed them her crusts. Stuart was busy doning Sudoku's so he sat in the car for his lunch.

After lunch it was a walk over to the aivery's to look at the birds. Then back to the playground for a play. It's the most amazing playground. It was built by the community based on an American concept, where they involve the children in the planning, and then the whole community build it in 6 days.

(watch out Uncle Wayne - I'm learning to drive a tractor just like you)


On our way home we called into the Clareville Camping ground which is part of the Clareville A&P Showgrounds. Friends, Mary and Simon, are the caretakers there and live in a house bus.

At the camp grounds there is a lovely lake with trees and bushes around it. The perfect background for photo's. The sun was starting to get lower in the sky so the lighting was great too.

I managed to persuade Stuart (not much persuation required) too let me take photos of him. I got some great shots of him.
