Ben set off from Kapiti Coast mid morning and arrived here late afternoon in their smart grey Volvo EV.
Late morning Rosie took me over to Summerset Palms where we picked up Karola and then tootled off to Birdwood Café on Middle Road. Karola had a bacon and egg frittata and I had a chicken & leek pie – both delicious.
