It's a lovely sunny Hawke's Bay winter day... started off about 3 degrees this morning at 8am. If there is not a southerly blowing, it usually gets up to 15 to 20 degrees by midday. Almost a summer day in Northern Ireland!!!!
The mountain ranges about 20 miles to the north and west are coated in snow. A beautiful winter scene!
Luckily we can look from a distance and not have to experience the snow or ice in Napier.
The grass continues to grow although slowly... this has been the coldest Hawke's Bay autumn / winter for a few years. Normally this is the growing season and farmers from elsewhere in the North Island winter their stock in Hawke's Bay but not this year!
Talking of growing, I am about to plant my onions and garlic for the new season. The first venture into the garden for a while! The rain in mid May to early June has left the ground very damp. Garlic is a new experiment... I will keep you updated on progress.
