Same to you. Have a great Xmas.
You had to choose a Labour Red flower didn’t you. (jokes).
Take a drive down Highland Park Drive from the top at Bradbury Road if you get a chance. There are blooming Pohutakawas all the way down it right to Aviemore Dr.
It is really beautiful.
Merry Christmas to you too Peter. 🙂
