Hello all friends and family,
Many many of you have emailed, worried about the earthquake which shook the bottom of the North Island and damaged houses and collapsed buildings in Gisbourne, which took most of the damage. This is just to say that we here at Paekakariki are totally totally fine. I admit that I was icing a cake and hanging with Rob and Michael in the lounge and didn't even FEEL it at all--much less get disrupted by it. (It's also true, of course, that there were no serious injuries at all anywhere on the island.) Now I'm going for a walk on this spectacular chilly summer morning along a stretch of deserted beach in the slanting morning sun and I'll come home to a house filled with children on this first day of summer vacation. Only my schedule and my seasonal sense are shaken here on this Friday morning in New Zealand.
Thanks to you all for worrying. I feel loved from around the world!
