Whoa!! Rewind to Block house bay! I totally forgot to mention that on Sunday night I had my first burn on my new fire fans. It was so much fun!
Hot! Hot! Hot! Super tired and still sick after a very busy three day fair. With our truck still making those scary noises, we could not drive far. so we had to settle for the Tui glen N.Z.M.C.A park in Henderson. Much to the alarm of the buses already there (I was going to say white road maggots, but that would be very hypocritical after my last post) we managed to squeeze in to the tiny park.
We spent Tuesday chilling out, drinking ginger beer and playing naughts and crosses at lovely Falls Hotel just down the road.
The next two days were made up of school, swimming pool (right next door was west wave public pool), rest and play. A lady even came and told us to stop cracking our whip because it was frightening her dog (I guess it was nine o’clock).
Thursday we snuck on to the grounds late at night and woke up to a beautiful panoramic view of Auckland and the harbor bridge.
Friday while the Extravaganza set up the Gypsy bakers donned their aprons and whipped up a delicious Banana cake ready for the weekend.
Te atatu is a suburb just across the water from Auckland, it was our first fair at these grounds. It was a hot, busy, successful weekend. We will be looking forwards to this one next year!
Saturday night all the Gypsies went to Spookers, leaving the Extravaganza airily quiet without their usual partying. That was spooky in itself!
So that was our unusually uneventful week. Bye!
