One garden, two houses, some lessons from the past and hope for the future. A look at life in New Zealand, a bit of history and a Morris jig or two. You can also find me on Instagram @hobbyography and @dunedin.street.vintage

More On Water
Not a whiff of diesel, no creak of hulls, no lapping wharf nor sultry heat...
Oh dear - it looks more like a moat. We have had wonderful weather until the last couple of days when it has just kept bucketing down. Still is. Just as well my property slopes down quite steeply to a gully.
Cro Magnon: These dry water courses are officially called ephemeral streams. It's helpful to have grown up with this particular one and to know its character.
Steve: Oh I do. I was remembering this morning how as children, my brother and sister and I couldn't wait to get out into the rain and play when the creek rose like this.
Susan Heather: Your end of the country has been as much in the news as much as my patch with the weather today. All around us have been bridge closures, evacuations, road blocks and diversions, yet here we have felt safe and cosy.
rusty duck: It comes nearly up to our bottom step in extreme conditions. That was this morning! It's gone down quite a bit since then.

Having a lake in the garden is rather nice, but not if it hadn't been there the previous day!
What can you do but kick back, relax and enjoy the view.

Eeek.. as long as it gets no higher!

Crikey....lovely to look at as long as it doesn't rise any further!
libby: It's gone right down this morning. Now I can see all the rubbish that has swept through the village into my garden!
Ok, so the rain was wetter down with you than up in Auckland..Wet and keep that ceiling dry. Hope it has been tamed, and roads/bridges re opened.
Drew: Hello you, looks like you are home safely from that other windy city. Nope, the bridge is going to be closed all weekend!
