The Oratia New Year’s Day Picnic has been and gone.

A sunny day, a great setting, fine food and drink, and excellent company. What could be better?

Many thanks to David and Barbara Harre who once again kindly welcomed us to their home, Albion Vale, where we enjoyed a relaxed afternoon in the sun (and shade).

And not forgetting the steamed mussels – courtesy of David’s historic steam engine.
