Out for a walk

After a supermarket visit this morning we went out to the Sandspit Beach and I went to to find caches
Is beautiful out here today.

No luck with three caches.
We moved the car and started from the other end of the walkway 

I found the remaining three thank goodness!! I also met one of the residents who knew about the cache by her front fence, she looks after it, and helps the brownies and cubs who also come searching for it.  She also is a member of a local knitting group which is what Jenny has been looking for,  so double score!!
I am cooking dinner tonight so had better go check it and then maybe do some stitching.
Happy stitching.

Waiuku

I want out for a walk yesterday and found a few caches



I passed the War Memorial




There was a cache here but I couldn't find it

I met some locals, they were very friendly and I was allowed to scratch a little, one had a tongue like sandpaper!!



Bird sculpture in a little park
Where I found this cache, but had to touch it with a stone first to make sure it wasn't real


The view to the old Railway station 
Looking back towards the town
I followed the pathway along the estuary edge,  the tide was way out,  up in the distance is the steelworks
Next cache I found, after it hit me on the head!!
Looking up the estuary again
map of where I am at the closed pub, the road to the Lighthouse was closed too
Mural on a shop wall
Same building
I walked over 5km in all, so today is a rest day from lots of walking! We are expecting another day in the mid 20's, at least the humidity seems to have decreased for the time being.  Jenny has sewn together a KOGO blanket and I have done the crochet edging, a secret stitching project has been done and I am back to the temperature tree, pictures to come, I am sure there are enough here already.
Happy stitching
