A sunburt country no more....


When it rains in New Zealand it really does a good job of it.  My last post, too long ago to be forgivable, I lamented the long dry spell which had been cast upon this alluring green landscape, threatening to turn all things brown and parched.  As nature would have it, not long after that it rained, and then soon after that again, and again and again and…..well you get the picture.  The total rainfall over the last few weeks is close to 300 mm of life giving precipitation thanks to a series of dying cyclones which have been carried south from the Coral Sea off Australia and tropical pacific regions to the north of New Zealand.  This pattern is set to continue, shaping the summer up to be one of the wettest on record for the North Island of the country.  Now that I have said all that, it won't rain again now………
