Walking the Walk

Today we did a 1 hour walk in our tramping boots down Ayr Street, up Brighton Road, along St Stephens to Galdstone, down Gladstone then up St Georges Bay Road & home. We are off to Christchurch on January 9th to do a 3 day walk from there to Akaroa. Longest day is 19 ks - 39 ks in total over the hills of Banks Peninsula. We arive in Akaroa on the 12th which is my 60th birthday. Hope we have energy left to celebrate! Akaroa is set around a beautiful harbour, has a French influence and is famous for its many walnut trees.
We had our apartment blessed by Dr Bruce Patrick on December 4th 2005. A happy time with old friends & new.
Been to see The Worlds fastest Indian with Sir Anthony Hopkins. One of the best movies we have seen in a long time - if you get the chance see it too.
Off to visit some elderly friends in rest homes today to wish them Happy Christmas.
Talking of Christmas I have been helping Jinny pAtrick with the Christmas Xtravagnza at the TAB (Baptist Tabernacle) and arranging with media to film etc. We are meant to be featuring on TVNZs Breakfast Show on the 23rd December. 1700 school children have come throught the displays which include a walk through of Narnia - The lion, the witch & the wardrobe. They all seemed to love it. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 20th to 23rd of December - top of Queen Street - parking at rear of building.
See you all there.
