Winter Solstice Snow

Posted on June 20, 2007 by BritMumInNZ

The view across to the Rimutaka Ranges from Te Papa this morning was breathtaking (though my photograph really doesn’t do it justice).

Sophie and I enjoyed a lovely morning with our friends Marrisa and Bethany at the museum (Charlotte at morning Kindi now). With the Winter Solstice on Saturday 23 June Sophie thought a little dress-up was appropriate and I think she would have blended in a treat at Stonehenge Aotearoa‘s celebrations!

In the afternoon we had a lovely time down at Island Bay playground and beach (again with the delightful Marrisa and Bethany!).
