I haven’t been very diligent in updating this since Christmas, partly because I haven’t been doing much of note apart from running and reading. However, last weekend we (Mum, Dad and I and Michelle, Jeremy and Thom) went to Cornwall Park for a picnic.
Cornwall Park is one of Auckland’s iconic spots, the location of One Tree Hill, and a place I used to go running with the Wesley Harrier Club years ago before I left NZ, not to mention the location of the restaurant where Mum and Dad had their wedding reception in ’62.
The park wasn’t too crowded, which was nice. There were a few other people picnicing, and people playing touch rugby and kite-flying. Photos below.
Cornwall Park is huge. This is just a small corner…
These guys were playing touch rugby and obviously having a ball.
Thom (2 years old) entertained himself with a little game – he would pick up a leaf off the ground, and throw it into the air, and then hold up his hands in mock surprise as if to say – “where did it go”? Quite hilarious.
Eventually he got tired of that – but still managed to be cute without trying
