Kerikeri Heritage Bypass


Since we've dropped down to Alert level 3 I've been getting out each day walking around our town.  On the way out is this bridge named the Heritage Bypass which leads out to Waipapa and I found a path next to it which took me down to this quiet little area next to the Fairy Pools where I was last week taking photos of Fungi.

The stillness of the early morning is so nice to breathe in - hardly anyone else around too and so much nicer than using my treadmill every day.

How have you been passing the time?  I don't know if anyone else has noticed some good deals around in stores online but we have been wanting to get a decent bed for quite some time. The last one we bought about 4 years ago was meant to be medium soft but it's not been very nice to sleep on as it doesn't seem to mold to our shapes when we lie down, feels quite stiff and we seem to wake up more tired than when we went to sleep. We happened to see online some great deals, one of which had 70% off so we bit the bullet and ordered a much softer one from a more well known shop. 

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Weekend Reflections.

You would not like our bed then it is firm. We exercise using on-line videos and have great fun, we have not been outside the gate for a couple of weeks now. Find out the weekend what happens next

We have the same problem with our bed at the moment. We've been talking about purchasing a new one, but the husband said he wants to try it first at the store. Well, that's not happening anytime soon since most shops here are closed for the time being.

I exercise by walking early in the morning. There's a school nearby and since they're closed, it's good to walk around there in the mornings.

We walked along the bypass road just before it was opened. Haven't been looking to see what bargains there are. We seem to have been ordering quite a lot - just ran out of printing paper so will have to get that.

I get out most days for a local walk. It doesn't hurt to have a regional park with in walking distance.

Looks like a lovely spot Amy, I absolutely agree, the air first thing in the morning is wonderful 💙 It really is a fantastic time to get a bargain or two, even in the shops that are open there are huge discounts. I've been doing so much in the garden lately getting ready for winter ✨

I love a peaceful, windless morning in spring when there are no midges. No wind is unusual here on Lewis. I like a fairly firm bed. The trouble is you only really know if you like it after a couple of nights sleeping on it. That's difficult to achieve in a shop!

Walking in the fresh air is good for the soul as well as the body.

I like this reflection! It's nice to get out of the house.

I haven't been out walking yet. It sounds like you have a couple of lovely places to visit - always nicer when they are beside water.
