Wanganui

 A flying visit yesterday to attend a wedding. Lovely, lovely day catching up in my home town.


Glad to see The Thistle sweet shop is still there - and has been for 70 years apparently. 


4 Smithfield Road - still looks the same as it did in the '60s, except for the post and rail fence I spent a childhood mastering as a balance beam.


 A striking art installation on the riverbank - I like it.


Love fruit cake, but have never been a fan of the ghastly almond and royal icings that it gets slathered in for a traditional wedding cake. The cupcake alternative yesterday was fantastic - the cupcakes were so scrummy, a variety of flavours and I could eat endless butter icing!

  1. No wonder the fence isn't there anymore if you kept climbing on it. Poor Dad!
    That cupcake thing reminds me of one of those TV reality shows where four people have to take turns entertaining each other and give a rating.
    One gayish guy prepared colossal numbers for desert.
