Petrol prices are crazy

It was a year ago we were holidaying in Taupo and on the way home we stopped in Tirau where I took my usual loads of photos 😂.  The petrol prices since then have risen dramatically, mostly because of the fighting  between Russia and Ukraine. At the moment, depending on where you live in New Zealand they can range from between $2.70 to $3.30 per litre for standard unleaded. It's become pretty crazy.

And thankfully I am back at work today due to testing negative for covid on Wednesday. I'm feeling alot better but just stuck with a bit of a dry cough but from what I hear that's fairly normal. Thank you for all the good wishes.

Sheep and dogs in Tirau

I love Tirau, it's one of those small towns where you just have to stop and look around.  The sheep, above, hosts a wool and craft shop inside and like the dog building was built in the 1990s both created by local artisan Steven Clothier. The ram on the right was added later in 2016.

 This farm dog hosts the local i-site visitor centre where people can find out about what to do there. We drove through here on our way back from Taupo in which it was a crisp Autumn day.
