Saferdig, Nelson is at the top of the South Island. It has a port with a large fishing industry and its great climate means it has a huge amount of horticulture: viticulture, orchards of pip fruit and kiwifruit and because of its scenic beauty is also a popular tourist destination. Yes, I have a diary, not many entries as yet but I am working on it.

Oh, growin, I am sorry but I do not know if that is a salix. Was so concentrated on taking the photo I did not notice the wood for the trees! . I took another picture of a sweet little bird house. The owner was not at home when we were there so do not know what sort of feathered inhabitants it may have. No sign of any life at the time but perhaps they were sheltering from the rain.

Gosh, your significant other is called Toi Toi! Way to go!
