10 days with my Mum in Te Aroha is like stepping back from the hustle and bustle and taking life easy.

A bullet point summary of what happened during this time would be as follows:

• celebrating her 98th birthday
• capturing some street photography
• experiencing Te Aroha Domain day
• walking up to Bald Spur several times
• watching the blood moon
• eating ice-cream

Can totally recommend the Palace Hotel for a most delicious meal!

Road trips and ice-cream!
