Further flood Fotos :) and latest Fernside Frolics





To add to the Cust Creek photos below, we went down Lineside Road today (3 days after height of flood) to view the paddocks down there. Lineside Road is the main road from the northern motorway through to Rangiora. Here are a few pictures of the "Lineside Lakes".


We brought Carlisha (6yo Mystical Shark out of the now defunct Laura Jayne) home from Bevan Heron's last Saturday. For a late start mare, Bevan has done a good job breaking her in. She has a cough so we've kept her apart from the others but as Bella goes just where she wants, she joins her every now and then. At this point the idea is to syndicate Bella (Bossy Looker officially, 3yo trotter) and Carlisha as a package and give them both a go this season. Bella will go to Bevan and Carlisha to Grame Lamb. Looks like Julius Caesar fillies will have to go to sales as we need to lessen stock and get some income from the breeding.

Lake Fernside is pretty.

Could be a good time for further landscaping while the earth is liquid?

Otherwise pull on some gumboots and play in the mud when the water recedes. Make a mud snowman haha.
