Taranaki - The Weekend



It's Monday and I am still in Taranaki.

On Saturday, Jacqui and I attended a medieval themed wedding in New Plymouth. It was distinctly warm for the time of year and Mount Egmont came out to party. It was Rob, the groom, who introduced me to Jacqui 18 years ago in London, so it was good that both of us could join him at his own wedding celebration.

Sunday saw us dining with the South Taranaki farming set at the 125th Egmont Racing Club Anniversary. Whilst I was still digesting the impact of last Thursday's budget, the talk here was all about fertiliser, nitrogen, carbon emissions and the fart tax. So not that different really.

Today, we visited Jacqui's former home time of Manaia and had our annual catch-up with old family friends. Tomorrow, it's back to Tauranga, the in-tray and mobile connectivity. From medieval times to the present, one might say.

The weekend looked great - where are the photos of the bride and groom?

Peter - I am sure Telecom or Vodafone could come to the party to improve your connectivity in all the great places you visit around NZ.
