It was time for our regular get together with our Super Leisure Group friends. We travelled down to the Hutt Valley along the Transmission Gully motorway coming into some fog at the top.

With time to spare we stopped off at Avalon Park for a look around. It's been ages since we had been here, and although the day was a bit damp, there were plenty of family groups out and about.
I walked over the foot bridge to see what I could find. Plenty of ducks in the small lakes hovering around waiting. Although there were signs up asking people not to feed the ducks, some people were. Feeding water fowl bread is dangerous to their health and can give them a condition called Angel Wings which prevents them from being able to fly. I came across a monster dinosaur in the lake, roaring his head off!

We met up with Helen and Calvin for lunch at Boulcott Golf Club Cafe. This is always a busy place, with finding a car park a bit of a mission. And the cafe is always very popular. It was Helen's birthday, so she needed a balloon to celebrate.

After an enjoyable lunch, and plenty of chatter, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. We had to take our car to get a little extra work done locally, so that took a wee while. After that we went to check up on our SLG friend Trish. This lunch was originally her outing, but sadly she ended up in hospital for a few days. So we popped over to the Hutt Hospital to see how she was getting along. Trish was looking good, glad of our visit, and has since been discharged.
It was time to head home, enjoying listening to all the "Songs we Love" from our favourite radio station Magic. And......we remembered each and every one!
