Musings from the shores of Lake Taupo

Winter 2023

Winter has arrived and as it happens this year it arrived just before Kings birthday weekend. So we have a public holiday. I am still getting used to the King idea after many many years of Queens birthdays. I was saddened by Queen Elizabeth's passing as I had lived my whole life up to now with her as Monarch. This may well be a colder winter after a few years of mild temperatures. Taupo is at a high altitude so is always colder than surrounding areas. However Summers here can be very hot. Autumn and Spring are truly the best seasons.
After a quarter century or in fact almost 26 years of circular distribution my wife and I are planning to exit the business in the near future and cease trading. A very sad time but it is a sunset industry and it has just got too hard to continue. Quite stressful for us as we wrap up and consider the costs involved in shutting down. These things are never simple. We are also in election year so must accept many lies and deceit from politicians. That's all for now. Gods blessings to you all.
