Mudbrick
November 20, 2011
Nice weekend. Saturday we went to the Grey Lynn park festival. It is an annual event and there is plenty to see and do and eat. The focus is totally on the local community, so the music stage is mainly school groups and other local things (we watched the Ponsonby Intermediate School Ukelele band and some teenage rappers). Since the election is only about a week away the politicians were infesting the place, a bit of a pity.
Then on Saturday afternoon I headed to Waiheke island with the band. We were playing for a wedding at the Mudbrick Restaurant and Vineyard. It is a wonderful venue and we were provided with a fine meal and wines. The audience seemed to enjoy our performance. We stayed the night in a small and ancient caravan (not at the vinyard). But at least it was right on a beach.
Sunday afternoon we did some painting in one of the rooms of the house.
