Mount Cook, New Zealand

My granddaughter Alex ran in the Aoraki Mount Cook marathon on Saturday.
The night before as they ate their evening meal they watched this stunning sunset over the snowcapped Mount Cook.

I loved it so much I pinched it off her!

Alex & William took us all round this area last March during the summer so I can just imagine how wonderful it looked.

Three good things:
1. A long walk with daughter catching up with all our news,
2. Rucksacks to carry home food bought at the farm shop.
3. Looking forward to a visit from Kirsty & all her dogs for two nights.
