Zuva likes making a comfortable spot with blankets across Daddy's legs.

A Sunday outing

Zuva got up one Sunday morning recently, and said "I've got an idea! Let's go for an adventure." I said "OK" and off she went to the kitchen to grab picnic food and pack her backpack. We left the house at 8:30am and didn't get home till after 4pm, having walked from Surfdale to Hekerua Bay where we had lunch and a swim and enjoyed the winter sun.

A New Years house swap

We got lucky and swapped our house on Waiheke for a 16 acre organic farm in Kerikeri with a river and some Shetland Ponies (big hit with Zuva).

Pete, Katherine and Toby came with us for a few days and on the evening of the first day Pete and I wandered around the garden delighting in the vibrant colours.

The next day we went to Kerikeri and spent some time at the Stone Store basin.

 

Zuva quickly fell in love with Moony the brown Shetland pony and from the first day showed horse handling skills beyond her age.
