1st June Takapuna Yerning

Is that how you spell yearning? It has been the hottest weekend of the day this year here in the UK, simply lovely. However we did find ourselves longing for a walk along Takapuna beach. We used to go down after tea and before bedtime. the kids loved it. Often I'd take Millie to the rock pools, no much life I am sad to say, but she loved it and so did I.
There is no real equivalent. However we did go to a great place called Wandlebury and have a picnic. It was great because the sun simply wasn't as harsh as a New Zealand sun. We did used to love sitting under the pahutakawa's that lined the shore line but it felt harsh in the direct sunshine. It feels like having a split personality, ok over dramatic I know, but there is so much to be said for both places.
