It was Matariki, big thing at Anna’s school (Māori new year) and they had their usual display of florescent creations. Pretty fun.
There was also the fireworks out at New Brighton which we went to. It’s absolutely mental getting in and out of New Brighton when the fireworks are on. The council however put on an excellent bus service so you could park at one of the malls and then there were busses every 5 mins on the way in and out. Absolutely smashed the queues (as you just skip past them all). Zero stress of finding a carpark etc. Would totally recommend.
Maaike had headed over to visit family in The Netherlands a couple of weeks before Anna and I are due to follow. We’re being sent pictures like this (needs login)
Mind you, it’s not all fun and games as Europe is currently in a massive heatwave. Like, 38° or something silly. Very glad we’re not there for that as I melt if it goes over 30°.
