Battered by a nor'wester



Thursday 12th March: Wow, doesn't a week go by quickly. This morning we were back down to Oamaru for horse-riding. We were the only family there so the boys got a whole 45 minutes riding and they rode different horses than last week. We got some shopping and had lunch in Subway.
The photos were taken on the journey home. The rock and sign are self-explanatory.
In the afternoon a nor'wester wind came in which lifted the temperature to 18 degrees. Inspite of being in the protection of the Hunter Hills ou can hear the gusts of wind coming like a train. Then there are lulls of stillness and another bluster roars through for a couple fo minutes. Twigs and acorns are being beaten off the trees and flying up the road. We sent to Junior Athletics anyway and there were some new long-jump records with the wind behind them!
