My friend Emma lives in Featherston in a cute, old house. She and her betrothed are heading up north for the holidays and invited friends to stay at their place while they’re gone. Uh YES PLEASE.
So on Christmas Eve after Chris finishes work, we’ll pack up the Rubes and other essential items and head over the Rimutakas for a few days of relaxation, which will include:
- leisurely walks around Featherston, population 2,340
- bush walks in the Rimutakas
- splashing in the local swimming hole
- slow (but not too slow) drives to nearby towns
- eating
- entertaining Ruby
- reading
- internetting
- general lounging
- sleeping (take note Ruby)
The last time I was in Featherston I noticed they had a small supermarket, a fish and chip shop, a cafe, a liquor store and a shop that sells wiccan supplies and all things to do with witchcraft. What more could you ask for?
Will post pics of my new broom in a future post.
I am hopeful Ruby will be in a better mood on Christmas this year.
