22 Feb 2020
I was invited to Jess Tassells wedding last year 2019, which I accepted. It was to be in Martinborough on 22 Feb.
It was a lovely day for a lovely wedding. I caught up with Claire Cross, Sara Rossen, Ash Wilson and Ingrid Schyns. Jess and Tommo had it at the Parehua Lodge where we celebrated Wang Theng's 50th last decade.
Wang Theng had to urgently take Catherine to the airport the next day, so she left after the dinner.
I stayed on overnight to enjoy the post dinner festivities and caught a ride to Wellington with Ingrid the next morning.
Later that week, the kids flew over from Melbourne to cycle the Otago Rail trail as a family.

Maylene had been in Wellington a week already by this time and Marcus flew in last night. We flew to Dunedin from Wellington and picked up our rental.
It was a clear day in Wellington, so I was able to get a nice shot of the Wellington stadium. First night was in Marram's Cromwell holiday home.
We had lunch and a look around Dunedin first.
Then it was a 3 hour drive to Cromwell. I'd forgotten how beautiful Central Otago was, and both Marcus and Maylene said the drive was so picturesque. They hadn't been here since they were 3 and 5.
Tiri Connell suggested we stopped at Butchers Dam for look around. It was a pretty place and nice walking paths around the dam.
We had some take outs from the Indian restaurant for dinner at Cromwell, and turned in early because we had an early start tomorrow.
The start of the rail trail for us was at Omakau, a 30 min drive away from Cromwell.
With our rental at the lookout above Cromwell across the river.
