So I've been out truck'n with my hubby...he came home on Monday night and asked me if I was busy tomorrow...nothing I couldn't change...so off to Hastings we went. He dropped me off at Hastings Rubber Stamps at four o'clock, I picked up a couple of items, shot into Countdown and then walked back to where he was unloading the machinery off the truck. I wanted to shoot into one of the fruit stalls down there, but we were to late once we headed back, which was a shame - we could see lots of apples and cherries...yum! Back into the truck and then to Taupo for the night. Now this is for Kim - that means it's about seven hours drive (because it's a fully loaded sixty metre truck) from Auckland to Hastings and then about three and a half hours back to Taupo. Taupo is a township kind of in the middle of the North Island and is based along one side of a huge lake. Lake Taupo.

We got into Taupo about seven forty five, into a motel, off down to another motel for dinner (and it was lovley - the sun was setting over the mountains...shame it wasn't a romantic weekend away!!) and then we well and truly crashed for the night. The photo above with the lake and the mountains was my view this morning. Not bad at all really! And there is a bit of house moving NZ style! Hard to believe in this heat but I've actually managed to get a layout done, so that's on here to share as well.

Enjoy the rest of your week my friends.
We've had quite a few people through the house. Two lots are coming back for a second look tomorrow night and a woman is bringing her hubby back through on Sunday, because she's seen it and he hasn't. So keep your fingers crossed for us please!
