Sundowner..

This might be what keeps Auckland in the top five cities in the world in those most liveable city rankings. Its harbour is simply lovely and very, very easy to access... even without a boat or the kayaks we keep talking about buying. 

This little jetty is hidden down off a cul de sac quite close to our house and used by those in the know for swimming on summer evenings and fishing in the winter or even just a quiet drink and a chat as the sun goes down.  This rod isn't ours... just one my keen fisherman tried out while we chatted and his little brother looked for fish in the water.
Those kayaks will be put to very good use this summer... and they'd be pretty darn good on a winter's day like this one too.

  1. I can understand why you'd be tempted - it's lovely. I'd love to live near the water too
