Feilding Rhododendron Gardens

It's spring time - the rhodos, camellias, magnolias, daffodils are out in full bloom.  So, we decided to take a day off from the house renovations and tidying and wedding organisation and go to Feilding for the day.  Although, not all the trees were in full bloom, the weather was warm and there was enough colour and birdlife to keep us enthralled for a while.  On the way up we enjoyed the snow capped mountains and even got a glimpse of Mount Ruapehu - I jokingly said to Harry 'Lets go up the mountain for the day' and although he agreed, pointed the car back towards Wellington.  In the evenings it is getting lighter and so we're coming home and doing a bit in the garden before it gets dark.  It seems to be getting less weedier and resembling order a bit more which is good news.
