Scorching auctions

We’ve spent heaps of time over the last few days looking for a car. We’re using a hire car at the moment but that has to go back soon and we desperately need our own.

Yesterday we spent a huge chunk of the day driving all over the city looking at cars, and ended up at Turners Auctions which Alfie thought was completely amazing – “Can we buy this one?” ..... “No this one”...... “No I like this one”.....”Can we get this van?”....etc etc.

By the afternoon we still had no car but were seriously in need of a break, so we bought a pie each (NZ pies, mmmm!) and headed to beautiful Scorching Bay for a bit of R&R. Molly became very muddled up between the car auction and the name of the beach, so it became ‘Auction Bay’.

Someone had done an amazing sand sculpture on the beach, so Jake and Alfie tried to make one of their own (they didn’t get very far), while Molly collected an entire car boot full of shells (as usual). Me, I just climbed around a bit and smiled while I looked at this amazing place we are living in.
