Karola started the day by taking Bicka walking to the shops and for exercise. Anna More, Bridget’s mother-in-law, came in to town and we four (plus the mokapuna Natallie) lunched at the local restaurant called’Taste’ – excellent food. We then finished packing and took Anna with us, dropping her at her home in Silverstream on the way. It rained most of the way up to Karamu – we stopped briefly for afternoon tea in Carterton and then drove on through the evening – arriving home around 8:00pm.

Weather: 5°C—19°C, northerly wind, 1mm rain.
