It is more of a rolling hill than a 'mountain' but the surrounding views: cloud formations, rainbows, and sunsets.. are really something. The weather doesn't just change, you can see it coming. <BR/>Hope you get back soon,<BR/>cheers,<BR/>mMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532343129241437728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814127.post-46634657609165331182008-06-03T23:50:00.000-04:002008-06-03T23:50:00.000-04:00Mary, we did the road trip of the South Island in ...Mary, we did the road trip of the South Island in November.<BR/>It was sensational.<BR/>On our way south we stopped in at Bunnythorpe and had a weekend there with friends. Didn't see Mt Stewart though, maybe on the next visit. It looks wonderful.<BR/>Cheers GilliSo So Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559718013383385233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814127.post-49388423591252957752008-06-03T22:24:00.000-04:002008-06-03T22:24:00.000-04:00Hello Madam So.

Biggs are in the Manawatu, 5km in from Sanson and 7km from Feilding. From the State highway, they are little more than a little rise in the road as you are coming into Palmerston North from Wanganui.<BR/>I'm not posting or reading (or doing anything remotely fun) as often as I'd like during the thesis crunch. Having said that, I've just been on a road trip around the South island, so I had to get a little caught up (justified, right?) and your mention of oysters caught my attention. They are a true delicacy.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for stopping by.

Whether I will miss it or not, remains to be seen.. but I can't wait for the chance to find out!! I do know what you mean about missing it (stress and all!) and I'll continue along with, hopefully, more enjoyable pursuits (like finishing my sommelier certificate!). <BR/>Hope you are enjoying your time to cook guilt-free.. and I look forward to having time to read about it as well!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532343129241437728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814127.post-73427718665846465192008-05-16T03:56:00.000-04:002008-05-16T03:56:00.000-04:00Mary ~ It is great that you allow yourself breaks ...Mary ~ It is great that you allow yourself breaks in which to soak up such glorious views. The thesis will get done in the time in needs. I was greatly relieved to hand mine in December, but I find now that I miss the intensity of academic pursuit. At least now I have time to cook whenever I want and not feel guilty for it - if only I could muster the energy to post regularly! I'm cheering for you from the sidelines...Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.com
