| Raglan, as far as the eye can see |
We were delighted to accept a sit in rural Raglan and one which James had done some years before. So this was kind of a repeat sit .... for one of us anyway. So great to catch up with the homeowners again too. This is one of the delights of repeat sits. Getting to meet some great people all over again!
Raglan is a beach/surfing town in the Waikato. It is tucked a little out of the way but is still a very popular summer destination for many. We were lucky to be staying out of the busy-ness of the town, a common theme for us. We much prefer to stay rural wherever in the world we are.
Ostensibly, we were tasked with keeping Boodle company. Boodle seems only to know how to chill and we were happy to oblige.
However, as the weather had been particularly dry leading up to this point, there was also a bit of feeding out to be done for the cattle and horses. We absolutely loved our travels around the farm twice a day, checking everyone had enough to eat, moving the cattle occasionally and putting doses of zinc in the troughs.

We still found time for a walk in the beach. The weather was gorgeous and it would be rude not to!
