Sarah-Jayne doing Walk for Hector's

    Hi all, what a week! We have done the walk, and It was fantastic.? Heathcote valley School along with Mayor Bob Parker gave us the best send off last Thursday.? All the children had made paper dolphins and huge banners and the was much cheering and clapping. We had incredible weather on the 1st day and were able to jump off the warf at Diamond Harbour to cool off.? Day 2 was a very long hard day to the Hill Top, with incredible views and also some rain.? Day 3 we took a little detour up to a 2000 year old Kauri tree.? Many blisters and sore feet later we arrived at Wainui to an afternoon tea of homemade cakes and lemonade.? I? really enjoyed the experience and the chance to update my knowledge of Banks Peninsula. Cheers S-J

Aescleah's brother Ffyn is having a coin trail at his school tomorrow in the shape of a hectors dolphin that he is going to draw.? Should be lots of fun. The stone dolphin is looking fantastic and I have left it in the capable hands of the carvers at Limelite Studio.? Everything is coming together nicely and I cant wait to get the walk underway.? I know there will also be lots of people organising and running around doing things for the public walk on Sat 4 March and the Art Auction in Akaroa.?
