Yes, Happy New Year and welcome to 2017! And what it may bring- and don't get me started on politics LOL.

You were talking about living on a hilltop- it is good to have the aspect that  some height gives. Sometimes the views can be "borrowed" and look like part of ones own garden.

I live on what I was told is an old sea cliff, though the sea is now around 800 metres away from its base. More wind, of course but the aspect is worth it.

Ovation of the Seas entering Wellington Harbour on a glorious sunfilled morning.  She is due to berth at 12.15pm, well worth coming into the city to see.

We picked up the 9 year old granddaughter this morning she is starting to entertain us.  At the moment she is wearing a Zebra onsie and texting her friends,  yes she has a phone.  Later on we are going to watch the Minions movie this is after lunch and the handful of chocolates have gone down.

I kept her amused earlier with a scrapbook and an lots of craft stuff so she made a beautiful picture for us that we will frame.

More later......

She has gone home now the granddaughter has but is coming back in two weeks time for a big stay of two nights and two days.  She made us laugh,  amused us,  ate heaps of food,  behaved herself and was generally a delight to have plus she didn't want to go home. .  While she was here two little grandson's from another part of the family arrived for a few hours and the oldest one age two and a half didn't want to go home either cos he was having to much fun.  His 9 month old baby brother was to young to realise that grandparents can be fun.

There are two tired people on our hilltop who are looking forward to an early night and will possibly be in bed before the grandchildren.....

In the bush at Kaitoke Regional Park north of Upper Hutt,  you don't have to go far in this country to find a nice patch of native bush to take photos of

Thanks Tom it's a lovely part of Wellington,  we have been there after a severe frost and all the trees were covered in spangles  of ice,  it's snows there too in winter when the snow level drops. We even camped there one Labour weekend as it has a large Doc camping ground that is well supervised by the Ranger.

Lovely looking spot, as well. Went on a local ferry across the harbour a few years ago. Does it call in at Days Bay?
