And the Wind Doth Blow

Just where is all this wind coming from?. The Weather Service tells us that an active front is bringing heavy rain and strong to severe gales.  We haven’t had the rain yet, so far, but such strong winds are really scary to drive in.  Thank goodness we are not towing the caravan today.  We drove through to Levin this morning to meet up with friends for a lunch date, and an electronic sign warned drivers of the danger –  Wind Gusts on SH1.

Six of us enjoyed a home cooked lunch at Robyn and Barrie’s home.  We have been friends for many years and it was great to catch up again with everyone’s news.  We invited them for a short drive to see our new house – oh look, one of the builders is up on the roof!  Hope he is being careful in all that wind.

Are you building on the Manawatu Plains???? If so; you'd better get used to the wind!
