Did a quick overnight trip from Richmond to Motueka and the Takaka Hill, just to get out of the house for a bit. Met a Richard Middleton (or more accurately, got found by him) as I was having dinner by the river. Wandered back to his place to see his recumbents and had a chat. Then disappeared up the hill for sunset.
