Schools out

A trip to the cinema today.....we went to see a Disney Pixar film called Inside Out. Great reviews but quite a hard concept for the usual Disney audience I would have thought. There were a number of children in the cinema of course but I never heard any noise or laughter.
Very cleverly done but we enjoyed The Minions far better....must have a simple mind!
Stepped across the road to take this photo.....bitterly cold wind off the sea...where has the summer gone?

Three good things:
1. Lydia & Beth are on the move to South Island. They are staying the night at Huka Falls Resort...cosy room with electric blanket. Cinema last night in Taupo.
2... I found a stray pineapple lump in the freezer.....delicious! Thank you @andreajoy
3. Anthony & Jo are now connected up to the internet & phone so skyped this morning ...so good to see those little smiling faces & of course the inside of the new house.
You've really captured the greyness of our weather, fabulous

A lovely shot, not many takers on the beach. It's more like winter today. Thankfully, I'm off to warmer climes next week.

Beautiful capture. I don't know where your summer has gone, Pat; tried to find it here, but only grey skies and rain...

Nice shot but it foes look cold. I liked the monions too. Pineapple lumps out of the freezer are yhe best. Hope Lydia has a great time touring.

Excellent shot

Not many on the beach today then? What a shame as soon as school breaks up the weather turns. This is lovely, a real silver sea and it really conveys the bleakness of the weather.

Great shot. Black and white gives it a cold dreary feel to it

This beach looks wonderful here - all that flat sand and hardly any people. Hope your summer hasn't started to slide into autumn - its August soon and that is generally the hottest month? Huka Falls resort looks very nice. Might choose to stay there on our road trip!

I just love this photo, fav

Ooh are they going to let us see the new house?! Lydia and Beth at least aren't missing anything weather wise - could be winter here as well as NZ. Another excellent film review thank you :0)

Really neat image - so simple, yet it looks great.

Shame I didn't get to say hello to Lydia and Beth whilst in Taupo.
Love this pic😍

Lovely shot, but it doesn't look terribly warm. What happened to summer.

@andreajoy they are in Wellington now Andrea....I did take the liberty of giving them your name if they were worried or stuck somewhere......told them where you worked. They too a helicopter ride over the lake....said it was awesome! They will be travelling back through Taupo in about ten days I think.
