It's not just humans who enjoy our swimming pool. This Little Shag stayed for quite a while.

Nice morning at the NZ Tree Crops sale in #Katikati. Got a miho mandarin, black doris plum and a matai.

That's the last of the persimmons harvested today. It's been a good crop and the wasps don't seem to have been interested in them this year.

Enjoying a warm cosy fire at Valley Gardens now. One of the best things about winter.

Been a great year for carrots. This monster weighed in at 660g and provided a generous portion for 5 on its own.

Lovely afternoon at Waihi Beach today. The water was warm and great surfing waves.

Some colourful produce from the garden today.

@alexmitchelleg Good advice there, although I'd use a mattock on brambles rather than mess around with a knife to cut them below ground
