Boys' Toys . . .

After leaving the lake we drove until we reached Twizel where we refuelled the motorhome and decided we would continue on to Tekapo for lunch. As we were leaving Twizel, Bruce suddenly announced that Finney needed a walk. I quickly cottoned on as I saw a row of big boys' toys lol. I was happy to stay in the warm knitting Finney's new jersey while they explored the vehicles on display. 

As we were heading to Lake Tekapo, Bruce spotted a colleague of his parked on the side of the highway. We quickly turned around and stopped to chat for a while. It still wasn't the warmest outside, so I invited Gary in for coffee and cake and we passed a lovely hour or so with him. He then continued south to his son's house, and we travelled further north. We didn't bother stopping at Lake Tekapo and drove as far as Fairlie. Here we treated ourselves to fish and chips for dinner and drove just outside of the town to park up for the night and enjoy our meal. 

The next morning, we stopped at Bruce's work so he could do a couple of hours to complete a small job and then we headed homeward. On the way we stopped at the Chertsey Book Barn. This is a wonderful second-hand bookstore that has an amazing selection of categories and titles. It also has a huge range of puzzles for those who love that sort of a challenge. 

With Finney acting as navigator, we finally arrived at the farm and life sadly returned to normal.
