Spring is (almost) here.

august slipped away like a bottle of wine😌

When spring finally arrives, be sure to recite the classic poem:
"Spring has sprung, the grass has riz,
I wonder where the flowers is."

Te Rauparaha's stronghold was on Kapiti Island. His haka "Ka Mate Ka Mate" is well known being the traditional Haka of the All Blacks.

All but 20 hectares of Kapiti is a bird sanctuary and you can visit. It is beautiful and yes I have been on the Kapiti.

What a beautiful place!!

I’m in Australia Brisbane and it’s always spring here even in the winter
