I find I get thirstier than usual there, which is interesting (and something to do with the fact I need to live near/look onto water) but love the forest walks, especially the larch & lancewood bit that leads one along the water-chase. <br /><br />Did you know that Naseby is a prolific peony growing area? It's not all mountain biking, curling and pubs!!! Sounds as though you've had a great holiday --- just one question... when are you going to show us your new red boots? ; ) xxClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-15954854799136141202010-01-10T11:46:25.540+13:002010-01-10T11:46:25.540+13:00We took our holiday guests on a day trip exploring...We took our holiday guests on a day trip exploring around the Maniatoto and Central Otago including a compulsary stop at Naseby. They could understand our fascination and attraction with the area and why we love going on long weekends there. It certainly is a long way above worry level.<br /><br />Couldn't figure out which one was your mud-brick friend though. Also the forest was closed due to the extreme fire danger and high winds. There were plenty of people swimming at the dam. It looked very inviting.Vanda Symonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956034768397598056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-3855867432569875552010-01-05T22:54:32.466+13:002010-01-05T22:54:32.466+13:00Hi Tim - Colin Wilson is def. someone to turn an e...Hi Tim - Colin Wilson is def. someone to turn an ear to. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've not read any of his work yet. 'The Outsiders' looks like a book worth plunging into at this somewhat flummoxing point in my life. Is it one you've read? <br /><br />Winter - Summer. North - South. Sacred sites and best intentions in both places. I'll be on the lookout for a copy of CW's Atlas. <br /><br />Arohanui, fellow travelerClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-43292817521789001572010-01-04T15:33:17.370+13:002010-01-04T15:33:17.370+13:00Hi T.Clear - I hope you find a matching hat!

You are one of the writers I know would bring a special energy to the mud house community. Thanks for endorsing the idea. You are right, things are woven as (and when?) we speak... I'll let you know what grows. Hope to see a bit more of you this year.

According to his website, he has thus far ordered drinks in 9,874 stores. His project contrasts dramatically with an acquaintance of mine who calls herself "Indian Summer." She is in the midst of a global pilgrimage to the hundreds of sites listed in Colin Wilson's book The Atlas of Holy Places and Sacred Sites, including cave paintings, dolmens, medicine wheels, and temples. Guess which of these two explorers I'm nominating to be one of your inspirational heroes in 2010."<br /><br />Buona fortuna and vaya con dios on your personal pilgrimage.Aquarian Ayenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-56484815607704058932010-01-02T15:11:20.593+13:002010-01-02T15:11:20.593+13:00Thanks Claire!

Food for thought indeed - knowing you and the universe in which you magically operate, nothing but good and short of spectacular will come of this. In its own quiet, organic way.
