On the way home from Taranaki I stayed in a cute little Airbnb just 9 kms off the highway in Pukekawa, cropping country. I should have taken a photo of the brand on the bed, it was just so, so comfortable.
The owners obviously go to a lot of trouble to establish a tranquil rural retreat.
The area has rich red soil and is known for growing a range of vegetables.
They look like potatoes. Very neat planting.
ReplyDeletePretty sure they are, Adrian. We always like to have new potatoes for Christmas and a main crop would be planted around now.
DeleteSigh!
ReplyDeleteI give the same sign when I see photos from your island home, Graham.
ReplyDeleteA peaceful get-away in the country sounds great about now, i wish i could get down there myself.
ReplyDeleteIt was really lovely, mimi.

ReplyDeleteoh that Airbnb looks so lovely. I can imagine nestling down there for a few days. Just lovely. A retreat from the world indeed. Stay safe, have a good week and thank you for visiting my blog last week.
ReplyDeleteIt really was the perfect place to sit and relax after being on the road and for a good sleep.
DeletePotatoes are always a needy crop aren't they, our country seems to love them, loving the donkeys.
ReplyDeleteSeeing them has got me thinking about new potatoes, Amy. Always look forward to them but hardly eat potatoes the rest of the year.
DeleteThat looks like a tranquil spot to recharge weary batteries. Our week away was rather hectic in comparison, no quiet place to sit and relax.
ReplyDeleteI love a road trip, Margaret as long as there's somewhere quiet to relax at the end of the day. You must have needed a holiday when you got home.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe AIRbnb looks very nice, what a pretty area to visit. Lovely series of photos. Enjoy your day!
