Autumn in Opua

 

Opua wharf and shops (not a house)

Nights are starting to get chilly here and darker earlier. Mornings are starting to become dark until after 8am. We are in the 2nd week of Autumn.  I made a decision recently which was that as soon as the mortgage is paid off on my house, I'm going to try and move back up to the north island again as it's too far away from my family. Good news is that house prices have grown here to the point where my house is worth quite a bit more than what I paid for it and Greymouth no longer has the lowest priced properties.

Speaking of home I did have something funny happen this week. I got talking to a couple at work who were tourists here and in the gist of the conversation they said they were from my home town on holiday and what's more is that "she" was my oldest son's high school teacher. Makes me miss home even more.
