I took Les to Kiwi 360 today, my fourth time! The tour we took was a little different as we stopped at a grading machine and he showed us how the fruit were sorted in the 'olden days'. Life is so much easier for the pickers and packers these days. Les enjoyed it and afterwards we had a good taste of all the various wines and liqueurs and fresh fruit that they had on offer. We also tested all the Kiwi fruit products on sale in the shop and we came out smelling very nice!
We then drove down to Maketu and went for lunch in the cafe there overlooking the sea. The weather had clouded over a little but was still warm. I had a lovely smoked chicken sandwich and salad.
We then went off to Comvita which is a factory making products from bees and their pollen. We tried all the types of honey on offer and all the products and I bought a lip balm and Les bought some toothpaste.
We had a really good time trying all the products and even though I took Heather and Jane to these places it was good to go with Les as we enjoyed all the testing that the girls didn't.
I took her home and then got back in time to feed Totty and then take her for a walk.
WEATHER
A lot of rain overnight but warm and sunny this morning. Cloudy later in the day with a shower of rain and then a sunny evening.
