The causeway joins one side of the harbour to the other. Friends used to skurf off it (tie a rope on to it on the out going tide and stand up on a surf board), and its nice just for a different perspective on Raglan, to take a little walk across it.

Growing up in Raglan the Bryant Home track was the main access to the beach. Most summer days, the family would load up and walk down from Upper Wainui Rd, over the creek, through the bush, and down the side of the hill. When the new access was built through Wainui Reserve, the amount of people making the trek decreased. Fortunately the tracks have been kept in pristine condition, and these days I do it with no whinging at all, and only appreciation for the beauty of the views the short walk gives… the destination isn’t so bad either.

About 15 minutes drive from Raglan round the mountain is Te Toto gorge. The view you get out to the Tasman is incredible. Good for all types of weather, it helps to appreciate the storms we’ve been having… and slightly more dramatic than just watching the rain.

Rain rain rain rain rain. Instead of sitting in doors hiding from it, why not go and appreciate it. It can be calming Watching The Rain.

Down Volcome Lane, you will notice people enjoying their coffee and playing a game you might vaguely recognise. If you have never played before, just ask away, some one is usually up to show to ropes. The thing to do today is play back gammon.

Raglan is a small community littered with creatives, all just quietly doing their thing. My Havianas broke, and instead of stealing another pair from my Mum, I thought, why not support someone here in Raglan. Enter Ben Galloway, creator of Trash Footwear. Working out of his Dads workshop (Soul Shoes), he gathers together all sorts of waste and makes them into shoes. This particular pair are made out of conveyor belt, some high density canvas off cuts, and some funky looking second hand material. Look at him go. So your thing to do today, is give those feet a rest from the hot sand and melting tar, and support a starving artist with a pair of these sandals.

Summer starts in our mind from Christmas… since Christmas it has been raining. Good for the glassy conditions in the waves, a few good kite sessions, and also that holiday season novel… but still not summer. So this afternoon when it clears up, that sunset beer on the deck after a long session in the water will finally happen… For number 4, you can quite rightly say… “Hello Summer”.
