2021
I can’t quite believe how quickly the last few months have flown by. But then again, looking back I’m astonished at how busy we’ve been. And even more astonishing considering how Iris & I thought the future would be just 10 months ago. Once New Zealand dropped to level 2 our bookings started, and so our normally quiet period in spring, early summer saw increasing numbers of bookings both for accommodation and our tours, and it continues onwards over the summer. Which is very good for Stewart Island, as we see visitors everywhere.
But it has meant I’ve managed to completely ignore our blog, so this post will be “Looking Back at What’s Happened”
Orchids
I’m very fond of our native orchids, and always look out for them. And it’s always a joy sharing them with our guests, and introducing them to a little known part of our native flora.
This year has not been good, and a couple of species haven’t appeared at all, or at least their blooms haven’t.
Our Garden & Us
As always Iris has been busy in our garden, and as usual it has rewarded us with lovely fresh vegies and lots of colour. The weather has been very ordinary, and we’ve had more rain than normal … 2nd highest in the last 6 years…… where is the La Nina we were promised ??. But at least our water tanks are full.
