You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men – we should have headed off on our next adventure this morning, but the weather gods had other plans. Yesterday saw strong winds and 62mm of rain where we are at Flaxmill Bay, and more is on the way. There is already some surface flooding in the area and the advice of the local district council is for everyone to hunker down, and stay dry and safe. So here we stay!
The motorhome is all ready to go, and just awaits the last minute additions of perishable food. Hopefully we will be on our way tomorrow subject to the roads being open. We hope to catch up with Kay and Richard in Orewa before heading up north to Whangarei to see Judy’s Dad.
