In 1991 on my way back to Australia from England did Visit Heather and Stephen in Kamloops Canada was a great stay, Stephen took this picture of Son Gary James Fryer sitting on my leg bouncing up and down what a beautiful smile on his face and that of sister Kyla

Very Eventful Day

 Today on my walk to the shops and listening police ambulance and fire engines This vehicle came flying around the corner at speed sending the slab of concrete you see in these pictures flying it bouncing on the road then onto foot path lucky was not closer, All pictures taken with mobile phone

 Then coming to the shopping centre did see all these services where a man had lost control of his car and drove it into the local general store, the driver taken to hospital

 You can see car in shop

 Away from everyone and under a very big circular concrete tank i did see this young man playing this piano and singing he got a shock when I approached him, it turned out that this young man was from Sweden on a working visa in NZ and had seen this piano sitting there and opened it up sat down and made use of it, he thought it might belong to one of the boats, he was such a nice young man and a great smile

 Today traveled from Mount Maunganui by bus to Auckland we stopped at Paeroa for 30 minutes 

 One of the unusual number plates seen in New Zealand

The Paeroa Hotel

 At the restaurant where we stopped I was told there was a special Party inside and was told it was this table, I approached and said that i had been told something special at this table and the lady in green was quick to Its my Fathers 101st Birthday, wow I lent forward and shook his hand, he telling me he was near Wormwood Scrubs in London also adding he had been inside the prison once as a chorister when young, and the amazing thing was he had all his own teeth, they were lovely people

 Another amazing this day after arriving in Auckland I had a meal outside and when I went to my seat there was a wallet someone had forgotten, I took it to the person at counter and asked what should I do he said don't know, so I asked a lady to watch as I opened it looking for address we could not find one but plenty of credit cards and Student passes, I went back to my seat and took these pictures as evidence and after finishing meal would go to police station not far away, I had just finished when I saw this young man running down the street he ran straight at me, gave me a hug and said thanks, a great finish to a great day
