SUMMER The Christmas decorations have all been packed away in their boxes until late November 2010. Calico Lodge looks so different as we have hung new quilts, changed the duvets to cotton blankets and added new placemats. Summer has finally arrived in Kumeu and we are enjoying lovely sunny days, barbeques and many wedding guests. The mother sheep have been shorn and it is nearly time to shear the lambs, the little black ones are feeling the heat. The Classic Car and Hot Rod Show 2010 is an historic event, the biggest show of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. The weather played her part, the rain stayed away, although it was a little hot on the Saturday afternoon. One of New Zealand’s top car builders stayed at Calico Lodge and also guests with cars to show and to sell, and other guests to just look and go OOH and AAH. Our delightful 1968 Cougar was one of the great cars that graced our local Show grounds.
Anniversary weekend, the last weekend in January is the time for the Auckland Folk Music Festival here in Kumeu. Musicians come from all over the world and from all corners of New Zealand for this exciting get together. February 13 is the time for the Wine and Food Festival, and the weekend of March 13 & 14 is the Kumeu Show. What a weekend that is, horses, sheep, goats, cows, cars, vegetables, flowers, art and crafts, and all the fun of the fair. This is an old fashioned A & P Show and only 25 minutes from the biggest city in New Zealand.
