Dianne, Adam and I just came in this Sunday from seeing the Southern Cross Constellation. Most evenings are cloudy on our side of the mountains but perfectly clear skies and 52 degree temps an hour after sunset gave us a chance to see Jupiter, Mars and the stars vividly. This was a fitting end to a day of wine tasting, hiking , tennis and grilling burgers. Yesterday we had pizza from a woodfired oven and braved some light rain to see coastal sites where the South Paicific Ocean meets Christchurch and her sububurbs 45 minutes east of our home base, Darfield.
