It has been so wet this winter that the good people at the Meterological Service no longer consider "fine" to be a term worth retaining. The forecast for the weekend of 20/21 August was not surprisingly for rain - just like the three preceding months. The only hope the were allowed was in the wind being a mild norwester, rather than a bitter southerly. As the weekend drew nearer, the rain lost its prominence in the predictions and words like showers appeared. This was wonderful, because we were off to the Orongorongo Station to Join Brent and Sonja along with Peter and Caroline, and Grant and Kate.
