Taupo, Anzac Weekend

This is a quick sketch of the house at Taupo where I have been lucky enough to have many a fine holiday. It is looking back at the house was a dark moonless night on Anzac weekend. The family is inside and the fire is lit. Cozy.

We had a wonderful 3 weeks in New Zealand over Christmas. Noah had lots of new experiences including learning to snorkel at Lake Taupo which he took to like a duck underwater.

A million million spermatozoa,
All of them alive:
Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah
Dare hope to survive.
And among that billion minus one
Might have chance to be
Shakespeare, another Newton, a new Doone
But the one was me.

Aldous Huxley, 1894 - 1963.
