Riverside Park this morning….

Maisie and I were out walking before 6.am. It was a fine, clear morning with a heavy frost. Helicopters and Wind Machines were in action over vineyards on the outskirts of town. Maisie and I headed off on the downstream tracks and paths to the downtown stretches of the Taylor River. The building behind the palms is Raupo, a very popular cafe/ restaurant. I and the family visited it yesterday after the viewing at the Funeral Home. We felt Keith was with us in spirit and even provided him with an empty chair, cappuccino coffee and a cheese scone. It felt really real and gave us comfort. … Arohanui …Kia Kaha.
