Along the Hokitika pathway to the beach there are these sculptures sitting on amongst the artwork named "Westland Women" which commemorate all the women at the heart of the local communities. The artist is Richard Brett and these were made in 2009. They also look like they double as seats.

This week's mural is another one from the Hokitika pathway. Named "Arahura" a Maori te reo word meaning "pathway to dawn" by Andrew Dempster and here is some information I found about him:
Andrew's life is immersed in art, from a love of art school, attending art school and teaching art at secondary school. He enjoys seeing young peoples creativity unfold and grow while also unleashing his own artistic talents in fresh works.

Autumn is in full swing here on the West Coast. On one particularly blustery windy day I walked next door from my work to a cafe/bakery to buy myself a coffee, this place is always busy as they make awesome food - lots of buns, cakes, biscuits, filled rolls, hot pies etc. I'm surprised to see so many campers still driving around given the current petrol situation. Apparently a load of diesel has recently arrived into New Zealand but my car uses normal 91/regular but at least it doesn't use much, it's a very economical car.

I usually like to eat healthy as much as I can so I had ordered a warm Chicken salad which was very tasty. My sister went home again a few days later but I'm extremely thankful we were able to see her - she has a van that she has converted to a type of camper so she sometimes travels around the country.

Back in February a work friend and I were invited to another colleague's event which was his 1 year old daughter's birthday. In Indian culture birthdays are a huge thing in New Zealand so we were very privileged to be invited and to be able to attend. I had only just finished work so I was still in my work uniform.

This is another piece of street art that I saw on the Hokitika Beach pathway a couple of weeks ago. Named "Out my window" and the artist is Sheryl Brooker.

Last week on the 18th March it was my 55th birthday. My sister travelled down in her campervan from Northland to spend the week with us, which was lots of fun. I took the week off work so one thing we did was visit our local historical museum named "Shanty Town". It's basically an old gold mining town set up to show how life use to be complete with old buildings such as a church, saloon, grocery store, train rides, gold panning etc. There in the saloon you can pay for photos to be taken by a photographer of you dressed up in old time costume.
On the left is me, the middle is my middle child who is 27 years old and transitioning from girl to boy and on the right is my sister. I think we all look amazing don't you?
