Daffodil Festival

This last weekend we visited the Daffodil Festival which has been held in Carterton for many years. 
It was our first time and we enjoyed picking the flowers.
It was seriously exhausting work so we felt justified in retiring to the local winery for refreshments.
On our return to Wellington we did a walk up the Te Whiti Riser. It’s a serious bit of work and has some lovely views from the top. Here is the Hutt Valley looking west
and north towards the Tararuas. 
We were the other side of those mountains earlier in the day.
In other news, Sam and Bex have moved back to Wellington. It will be good to have them closer. Sam has got a job with the Phoenix. Here he is in his shiny new kit before his first trip to Oz with the team.
