I once looked at a house that was for sale - a place relatively newly built on the back of a Harrier St section - and so a biscuit's toss from the first trees of the park. Unfortunately it only had three bedrooms and I had three kids. Although they all loved the house and all said they would sleep in an upper cupboard if I bought it!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-63662504430001300412018-09-29T21:21:40.245+12:002018-09-29T21:21:40.245+12:00It is a lovely park YP.

Most Americans don't know where New Zealand is, at least you do! (You DO, don't you!? - quick, look us up NOW! That's us down there in the bottom right hand corner under the printer's name. )Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-54746110379995013642009-06-03T05:58:39.379+12:002009-06-03T05:58:39.379+12:00what beautiful country in its autumn colours! love...what beautiful country in its autumn colours! love the golden oioi wetlands... oioi being the reeds i take it?<br />NZ is beautifulValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060531713032236270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-21056866839737102452009-06-03T00:38:42.124+12:002009-06-03T00:38:42.124+12:00Until I counted you as a blogging friend, I had ne...Until I counted you as a blogging friend, I had never heard of or seen anything called Yatton Park, Tauranga.
