NEW BRIGHTON TODAY


 The long pier is the main feature here.

For Robert, who doesn't quite grasp the concept of a beach here are some pics that don't just show a lump of concrete and a cross.






It's quite impressive with the long and wide beach with surf coming in and the very long pier that goes out into deep water where fishermen use rods and dangle craypots to catch a lot of different seafood.

I went for a long walk along the beach and the spit before heading home. Along the southern end of the spit I was much closer to where we are staying in Mount Pleasant but there was no way of walking there so I had to take a long journey back by bus.

I'm reading this in Towel Po. Tomorrow we drive to Tuakau to see our Sri Lankan friends. A long drive today. No bus dramas though.

Enjoy the trip and stay safe. Don’t forget to say a prayer at Robert’s Virgin Mary grotto at Tuakau.

Take a photo please. Nice photos Peter.

Richard posted a photo of the grotto after his last trip there but, in the Prowse tradition he deleted his blog so it’s gone. He’s going to hell again.

Ah well, at least it's warm down there.

Robert the sinner said...

There's ice too.

Richard (of RBB) said...

No there's not.

I see that no one can comment on Rob's latest post.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I made a comment this morning which seemed to go through but it has since been deleted.
This on the blog that the owner said "I never deleter comments. Sometimes posts but never comments".
Yeah right!

"deleter?"... new policies are in force now. Respect for the dignity of the human person etc.

Shouldn't this post be renamed "old New Brighton yesterday"?

Shouldn't your blog now be renamed 'Robert the mealy-mouthed, contradictory and sanctimonious christian who pretends to care about "the human person" as long as they are not women, LGBQT, atheists, socialists or environmentalists'?
