To celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary we decided to have a night away in Warkworth. We awoke to rain and quite chilly temperatures on Sunday morning so decided to leave the roof on DAE.
Ascension Vineyard seemed like a good place to celebrate the occasion! The weather was looking decidedly better by the the time we got there - the sun even ventured out once or twice.
For lunch we shared a delicious platter and a lovely bottle of Ascension Vineyard sauvignon blanc.
After lunch we travelled on a little farther to Tawharanui, where we had a very pleasant walk along the beach. The rain had disappeared completely by then.
We began a leisurely drive home on Monday, after a stroll around Warkworth. We took a country road to Kaukopakopa then headed back to Auckland via Helensville. We stopped at one point to enjoy a nice view of the Kaipara Harbour, and spotted this sculpture of a crashed 'balsa-wood chuck glider'. We'd seen a smaller version of it in the art gallery at Devonport, a few days ago.

Looks as though you had a lovely weekend in spite of the rain.
