Loved the surroundings. Muriel and Evan gave us an afternoon tea with some rather good homemade wine. They were eager to show off the place and the workshop. Evan demonstrated his newly purchased and refurbished wood lathe by making a ball our of a piece of Kanuka firewood and let me do the finishing work. Great. Muriel had some great mosaics on display throughout the house. I'm amazed that Evan mainly built this house himself, carrying most of the timber up hill by himself.
