More Views of A Very Special Place In My Heart

Here is a photo of me, at Mangawhai Heads, on top of this huge hill that you climb, the view is amazing from up there! But it IS a steep hill with 100's of steps that wind their way to the top. It's definitely worth the climb! And yes, there is a wonderful seat to sit on when you make it to the top!
Then there is the view of Head Rock; I used to walk out on those rock's to go fishing with my dad when I was a kid. My poor mother probably had kittens worrying about me on those rocks! The things you do as a kid..
Then there are my footprints in the wet sand, along the surf beach...I was there!
We had an amazing day that will live on in my heart forever.
...Sometimes you have to go back to go forward...
Thanks for visiting, I do have some cards to post when I get around to it! My health is slowly improving, the asthma is settling down nicely now, no more wheezing at night thank goodness! (I don't scare the two Purrito's anymore!)

A Very Special Place In My Heart...

I recently went back to a very special place where I grew up & spent most of my childhood.
I hadn't been back there for almost 27 years and sadly alot had changed & not for the better. My parents had a batch here & it was all farm land, cows, sheep & miles of pristine white sand on the beaches. Sadly there is no farmland anymore and the "batches" are now great big fancy mansions that look like they belonged in Rodeo Drive. It was very sad to see. And most of the "mansions" were not even lived it, they were all shut up & looked very much out of place. Our old batch has been sadly neglected with all the curtains drawn; it looked lonely & unloved. Really sad to see considering how well my parents kept the place. But shift happens.
Thankfully the beaches had changed very little, just new car park areas mostly.
Anyway I had a fabulous day there & took heaps of photo's.
Thanks for visiting, I am now going to sleep! It's 4.23 am...see post below for more details as to why I am blogging at this early hour of the day! {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)
