Leigh and I flew down to Christchurch (on airpoints) for a little break away from Nelson. The Big dog stayed at Colleen’s place and was spoiled rotten. The purpose of the trip was threefold, see Sam and check for clean underwear, visit with Joc and Rex (friends) and do a little geocaching. All three turned out great. Sam is thriving (though looking a little worried about the chemistry test Tuesday), the couple we stayed with are great (and were superbe hosts) and we nailed 10 geocaches (7 with J and R) of which some were VERY clever. One involved the use of magnets to extract the clues. Another took us to a park full of butterflies. They were very well done. The air was cool enough for walking, it was sunny and warm enough to sit out at cafes, and the trees were just changing colour. The campus looked wonderful in its fall colour. <\/p>\n
On return there was a pile more saffron. “Pile” being a relative term.<\/p>\n
