Flashback Friday: The Cheviot Hills
I haven’t taken us back to New Zealand in a while, and it’s about time. It was December 1992, and I was driving between Wairoa and Gisborne, on the inland road that passes close to Te Reinga, in the eastern … Continue reading

Daffodil Debut (Delayed)
I have not had the time to publish a post since last Sunday. I’ve spent a week with family in North Carolina, and I’ll soon share a few photos from that excursion, but for now, rather than offer another Flashback … Continue reading
