The Lakes Golf Course & Resort Pauanui





On our recent trip to Coromandel we checked out
The Lakes Resort and Golf Club
a short distance from Pauanui.
There is also a gated resort style community there which we could
only see from a distance. The houses all looked very upmarket
but not our cup of tea!




While neither of us are golfers we enjoyed our little tour.
I had always thought I would like to take up golf when I retire
but now with one of my knees giving me grief
I feel I may be past it!!!

Do you play golf, I know it is a great way of exercising!




These are the 'bunkers' which look very tricky for a non-golfer like me!





I'm joining Maggie for Mosaic Monday
and I hope to catch up with you all there!

I may not visit you until the weekend because work gets in the way
of my fun blogging time!
Meantime, thank you all for your visits.





Take care and
be kind to one another

à bientôt

A relaxing beach weekend



We spent a relaxing weekend with friends
at their bach 
(that's our term for a kiwi beach house)
for my non-New Zealand friends!


The location is Tairua on the
Coromandel Peninsula.
Their property is on the inlet
and a short walk across the other
side of the road is the ocean beach.


Today I'm sharing my photos of
the inlet side.


All along the coastline
Of New Zealand are these
beautiful gnarly old trees called
Pohutukawa.
They are a New Zealand native tree
which we affectionately call
the New Zealand Christmas tree 
because of its
beautiful bright red flowers which
bloom in December.


Today I'm joining Mary of
The Little Red house for
Please pop over there for a visit!


Thank you so much for visiting.
Please leave me a little comment
so I know you've been here
and then I can come and visit you too!

Wishing you all a happy week.

Take care everyone

be kind to one another
hugs

Shane ♥
