Views over Paihia beach and coastline
Cyclone Oma didn't reach us too bad in the end, about all we got was some rain and that was about it and it looked like it was heading towards Australia's Gold Coast. So we are back to our late Summer changing temperatures. I'm one of those people who can't stand humidity and heat, I prefer it cold but there's still plenty of sunshine here along with days where the air conditioning doesn't need to go on anymore and we don't have to kick off the blankets at night.
However I've noticed that it's the start of pear and avocado season. Avocados can be quite expensive at times, we bought 2 this morning at $3.50 each - maybe I should plant a tree because I love them so much.

Sounds like we had the same weather..it's dry and blustery now.
Yes, plant avocados..we saw three different varieties in our friend's garden.. different tastes apparently and all smaller trees.
Not a lot of rain here. I am paying $5 for 4 avocados at the Market. It is the start of the Pear season and getting towards the end of the avocado season although nowadays with different varieties the season goes on longer.
Beautiful, must be so pleasent being able to visit a beach like that. If King Alfred is one of yout ancestors you might like to read this.

BTW some of the floor tiles shown are Victorian but I think there are some in the churhc that date back to the 15th century
I like your photo. Still keeping blankets on here. Right now it is raining... turning to snow later in the day.
In Hawkes Bay it seemed that just about everone around us had avocado trees and they would be stacked in baskets at the gate and in the height of the season one could get a couple for a dollar. Of course when they were less prolific the cost rose.
Can imagine your relief at slightly lower temps. I thought avocados were 2 a penny in NZ. Shan't complain too much about the price here. About the same I think
Glad the cyclone didn't reach you. What a beautiful photo and nicely composed.
I dislike heat and humidity as well. Terrific shot!
the combination of heat and humidity is no favorite of mine either. Makes me wet all over. :( Love the beach :)
Wow, that avocado still seems expensive! I have trouble picking out good ones. I don’t mind a little humidity with my heat!
An avocado tree sounds like a great idea. I love them too and they are very expensive here too.
The temperatures have just cooled down a bit but the sun and clear skies are lovely. I don't know why avocado prices are so high. A couple of years ago, they were under $1 a piece in season and $2-3 out of season. Now $5 out of season seems to be typical.
