We have moved to New Plymouth for a few days, with Mount Taranaki being a prominent landmark. The first two photos were taken from a moving car on our way in; the last taken from our balcony. pic.twitter.com/rfvKqCUEVP

We had a long lunch today with the delightful @TouchMyPoly, a Twitter friend of Susan’s. Patrick is a very interesting guy and we look forward to seeing him next year (he says it will be his treat). pic.twitter.com/P0rAOsgu3s

Delighted to be able to have a glass of @RockFerryWines pinot noir on @FlyAirNZ. It’s a lovely winery that we visited a few years ago.

Went by the @NZGreens picnic at the Beehive today and were lucky enough to meet and briefly chat with two members of the Green parliamentary caucus, @MaramaDavidson and @_chloeswarbrick, who we have admired for some time. Check them out! pic.twitter.com/SoxsgxxzHJ

We have left Wellington to go to the Hawke’s Bay area for a few days. While here we will see a couple of Susan’s cousins who we first met two years ago. And the weather is decidedly nicer in Hastings than at home! pic.twitter.com/tH4jIjAg1w

After lunch we went to Ocean Beach (imaginative name!) and found some kiteboarders enjoying what seemed to be excellent conditions. The photographs aren’t great, but you can get some sense of what they are up to. pic.twitter.com/QiWJY4hrV6
