An unexpected life……

2013-11 November happens

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Geoff Walker

Nearly at the end of 2013’s pictures. Back in New Zealand with many things happening with the highlights for me being the Pain and Kershaw 140th birthday celebrations, the Barrel Race around the Martinborough Square as a prelude to Toast Martinborough and of course Toast itself!! I can’t leave out the wonderful Armistice Day Airshow in Masterton with the biggest collection of WWI planes in the world owned by Sir Peter Jackson’s The Vintage Aviator. Thanks Wairarapa for all the amazing events in November
