Boohoo morphs into Wahoo

Our last two weeks in windy Welly have finally produced a feeling like it's all coming together and we're on the home straight: it's been a long time coming!  A big weight off our mind was the Motukarara driveway being completed so that our two containers of ex-Wellington gear have somewhere to go, and the kitset shed, stable and water tank can be delivered.  It's not a flash driveway but I'm ecstatic with the rustic gravel look bathed in a summery blue sky at this stage!  I'm sure our horses will be delighted with the waist high grass too.

Land as bought: pre driveway, pre everything!
 

 

Wellington has thrown some heinous weather at us this last week which is making it a lot easier to leave.  Particularly with Steve boasting of balmy BBQ weathering in Christchurch while I'm in my winter woollies with the heat pumps cranked up: again...  And finally I can genuinely say to Kasper that it won't be long now before daddy won't go away all the time.  It's been getting harder and harder to console him on Monday mornings and really, I've run out of things to say to him.  I'm over cajoling him, it feels like I'm belittling his misery.  We couldn't have justified going on like this much longer, poor little man.

So the next hurdle is getting our horses, cats and containers down there safely with the minimum of fuss.  And then there is the small matter of delivering a 43ft boat from Wellington to Waikawa in the next fine weather break.  But hopefully, in the next two weeks all that will be achieved.

In the mean time we've acquired a beauty of a potbelly on Trademe to add ambience to our future stable accommodation, and Kasper has devised an ingenious trailer system to assist in the loading of containers and transporting Queen Hanna around the property.  He manages to crank it all behind his bike in first gear.
