A North Island Tour this August

Well folks it’s official, we’re heading north this August for a much needed migration to hopefully warmer climes.  Albeit it is only for three weeks, but I have told my trusty husband, “it will give you a good idea of what’s what in the lowerish North Island".
​(You may remember that conversation stems from his rating me as a wife, less than perfect).

So I have a wonderful trip planned starting in my childhood growing-up-place-Whanganui, winding north as far as Rotorua, then travelling south-east as far as Masterton, back up to Palmerston North, and eventually heading towards Peter Jackosn's  Wellywood.  I would love to see you if you are free to come along! Here are the library talk dates:-
 

Whanganui Davis Library: Queens Park Tues Aug 14, 6:30 pm
Taumaranui Library: Thurs Aug 16, 1pm

I have also had special requests to give talks at three retirement villages:-

Havelock North: Aug 22nd, 2pm Summerset in the Vines
 
 I do hope to catchup with you at one of these places.

​I reckon I should be getting a good 8-9 on the husband-rating-scale regarding this travel to unvisited places in the North Island, don’t you think?   Emma :-)
