No, not you little Basil, you can stay sitting down. Yesterday Wellington changed its mind and took the sun back in.
Yesterday the other Wellington came out to play, the darker side. The windy side. 
Yesterday, undaunted, we braced the elements and walked around the bay to another cafe. 
Then we peered into the window of the Fish’n Chip shop. 
But the blustery fractious winds blew us back indoors.
We sheltered in Soi, a lovely little restaurant along the waterfront. 
We ate looking out the window, sipping on fresh crisp New Zealand wines.
And felt grateful that we were not at sea.
Good morning. Have a lovely, lovely day.

Cecilia, I wonder how you left this beautiful spot on our Mother Earth. I’ve enjoyed the pictures and you daily tales.
I am glad you are enjoying it too Sabra.. c
It was windy here too yesterday… all our cobwebs are blown away :-). But, it sounds like you’re having a lovely time regardless of the weather. XO
I am almost relieved to see the old Wellington! c
The weather there sounds like powerful, humbling stuff. And what beautiful skies.
When the wind blows here it is wild.. c
The weather looks absolutely breath taking C, even with the winds.
Morning Eva.. c
I am a traveler that really enjoys all the moods of the place
I visit, so I am enjoying all the sights, smells and sounds,
even a windy day warmed by family, wine , coffee, and
great food !!
You cannot let the weather get in the way of tracking down a good coffee, though the cafe by the zoo is still winning.. c
I love the color of the water.
It is a stormy aqua.. I love that colour too.. c
Beautiful potos – I´d forgotten how quickly the weather can change there (rather like England) 4 seasons in one day!
Never go out in England without your cardi either! c
I love that coastal towns can change it mind with the weather every other minute.

Good morning! I have been busy writing in two places. Thank you for inspiring me to go forth and share… didn’t know you did THAT, did ya! 😉 Thanks, Celi!
Even in the brooding of sky and water, a certain beauty remains. Lovely images and words, as always.

Brr, very blustery looking. That seaside restaurant looks scenic snd restful – but I wonder how the fish and chips would taste at The Greasy Groper! Lol
fab name isn’t it!.. c
Glorious wind swept skies. Worthy of a Turner masterpiece. This has been the most marvelous of journeys. One hopes we have been perfect traveling companies. I know for us it has been an amazing journey of discovery. Celi good morning. I am happy you are having another wonderful cafe experience. V.
you are perfect travelling companions of course, always supportive and always cheerful, what more could a girl want?!.. c
Shouldn’t that be Greasy Grouper? Maybe the fish are different down there 🙂
Play on words I think! Someone being naughty!
It’s so beautiful, even in fractious mood. I’m at the beachh too, but it’s fine and clear up in Auckland still.
