Paddy returning...

We went for a drive around the block today taking Paddy with us.  We stopped off at Cooks Beach as a new subdivision had opened.  It is not the small beach settlement it once was.  There's a lovely park there just right for Paddy to stretch her legs.  Next stop was Whitianga for a lovely coffee and snack.  Then it was to the Oyster Company to get some mussels to make fritters for dinner.
