Ice

 

Apart from the odd fine days this has been the gist of our Winter so far. But Winter is good for going through clothes and things we no longer use. Last week my daughter and I dropped off 4 bags of items to one of our local op shops.

And last week we had days of waking up and finding layers of ice outside on our deck. So we have had to be careful not to walk on it until it melted so we don't slip over.

Chateau Tongariro...with a snow cat

I love this location and for years I have wanted to visit it, the last time we were in this area was over 10 years ago but I never got a chance to stop until now.  Chateau Tongariro is in the heart of the National Park, was originally built in the 1920s and is still in use today. On the day we were there someone had thoughtfully made what we thought looked like a snow cat out the front, our attempt was some sort of small trans-gender snow person.
