Upper Hutt trips

Went to see the stone sand sculptures at Upper Hutt today and will be returning tomorrow to visit a friend who has just got out of hospital after a hip operation. We thought they were at Harcourt Park but were in fact at Maidstone, although the sign at the entrance to Harcourt didn't say this?? However, by chance we found them. I thought they were fairly innocuous and uninspiring.


THE SEARCHERS - NOW AND THEN









Then being 1964.

On Friday, we are again returning to Upper Hutt when we are going to see the Searchers, the pop group from the 1960's. It is to be an outdoor concert so we hope the weather holds.

Our daughter has just lost her Japanese student who has gone to live out her final days (sounds like a death sentence!!) with the family who organises these exchanges prior to her return to Japan in six weeks. It hasn't really worked out a she made little attempt to communicate and learn English - which was the reason she came here.
