I'm not seeing many Statesmen, but something quite the reverse and lamentable. They're simply not even aware I suspect, so in our day to day lives we'll have up the tone and counteract it.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DonaldDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-56918188879819311052010-02-19T10:12:07.572+13:002010-02-19T10:12:07.572+13:00Kia ora Donald,

With this hip walking is out of the question but I could certainly enjoy the sights and amenities of traveling in a four wheel drive. njoyed your last post and the flavour of the mountains and back country. Does my soul good. Strange times we are living in here with the mountains under attack, DOC being directed to make money above all else, and even Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-12938989514833939622010-02-18T22:52:03.498+13:002010-02-18T22:52:03.498+13:00Hi Marg

Anyway I'm sure we both now more fully appreciate the environment more, with our eyes wide open.<br /><Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-88781177246383828492010-02-18T20:55:33.198+13:002010-02-18T20:55:33.198+13:00Hi - A comment on your comment ( is this the right...Hi - A comment on your comment ( is this the right place to comment on comments?) - There is another connection to the Elwing although very distant and Barbara and Arthur would not remember - but a long lifetime ago when I was a brand new, terrified , primary school teacher - I got sent to portobello school for my first 2 years of proper teaching.

I covered a lot of that ground in my late teens with the Otago T & MC. What great horizontal landscapes.<br /><br />Its a pity I wasn't more interested then in the landscapes than the pretty girls on the trips.<br /><br />Chers and thanks.<br /><br />BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.com
