GOOD MORNING OPOTIKI

Although it is a crisp start to Thursday 18 June 2009, we know the rest of the day will be a stunner. Because that is how it is here.

Photo taken at 9.30 this morning from Hukuwai Beach, already the day is looking good.
Thanks to the weather coming from the south, the sea is incredibly calm and for those who were prepared to brave the early coolness, there may have been a frost fish or two for the breakfast.

One of the township's many character homes is getting a facelift. We like to keep as much of our heritage alive as possible. We currently have 26 places listed with the Historic Places Trust and this may be added to in the future. There is a great little booklet named Historic Opotiki....port and portal of the Eastern Bay of Plenty that provides a precis of each of the historic properties.




Photo taken at 8.30 this morning across the road from the office. As you can see from the flags there is just a gentle breeze blowing, and it's just another perfect winter's day.





Numb fingers or toes are just a minor inconvenience. If looking out your window does not bring a sense wonder at what you are viewing, you may need a change of vista.

For those who take note of the minor details will see that the time and day of the posting is different to the actual event. I assume it is because the service provider is in another time zone and I am not computer literate enough to know how to change the time setting for NZ, and quite frankly I don't think it matters. Hence why I wrote actual time and date by the first photo.
