| Sunset over French Hill and Hilltop |
At reasonably regular intervals Chris and I like to get away from the shite of this earthquake damaged city for a few days of normality. More often than not, we do this with our good friends Sue and Graeme - and Hemi, their hunter way dog, when he's allowed.
School done for the week for Chris, traditional stop at the Little River Gallery (nothing to do with Ginger Slice and good coffee of course), then off to Takamatua to deliver a couple of my framed photographs to our now retired GP as a thank you for looking after four generations of the family - plus a quick vino - then finally on to Akaroa and our friends. And just in time for happy hour and their meal which they had been slaving over for half the afternoon.
Good weekends with good friends requires much chatting, cups of tea, walks, coffee and eating - and repeats of these five items!! For many trips to Akaroa I have been meaning to capture the sunset from Daley's Wharf, and the late afternoon sky dictated that this Saturday evening might just finally be that time, so with great discipline before happy hour, I slipped away for half an hour.

As always a great weekend away. Next 'get - away' weekend mid September.
