It was a dry but nippy weekend but the bach was cosy once the woodburner had been lit on the Saturday evening.
May is NZ Music Month and there was a performance by the Hip Op- eration, a hip hop group of Waiheke oldies, aged from 68 to 95, who were performing in the library courtyard, a lovely open-air performance space.
Investigated the Community Art Gallery and discovered the annual small piece exhibition was on. Lots of lovely paintings by some of my favourite local artists - Gwen Rutter,(blue hydrangeas )Katie Tringle-Legge ( plums, and other fruit) and Danielle Fillion ( seascapes)
The lower painting is the original one by Jan Nigro that hung in the gallery foyer for many many years. It has been joined by two others garnered from other public buildings where they have had their day.
As usual the craft shop is full of tempting beautiful pieces which I resisted.
Down the road after that to pick up a pie at Waiheke Fruit and Vege, a seafood one for moi which was absolutely delicious.
Did the usual clean up at the bach Sunday afternoon but managed a walk along the beach too and enjoyed the ferry trip home past Rangitoto.
