Today was Mervin's 43rd Birthday. We had an early start to the day with mass at 8.30am and then off to Waiuku for the Country Boys Toys Fair held at the Aka Aka School Grounds. The stopover at Vicki and Arthur's place took longer than expected as we got sidetracked by the juicy peaches, grapes and nashi pears.
After we'd had our fill, it was off to the fair. The kids headed straight for the massive playground, which was extremely lavish for a small country school. Mervin and Arthur headed off to the Vintage Tools hall whilst Vicki and I went round looking at antique cars. I'm not much of a car fan but this fair was something else, the Bentleys (my favourite), Mustangs, Cheveys etc were in such excellent condition. It was very interesting seing so many vintage cars all at one place. To have a taste of what country life is like, Tim had a go at sawing a log. Not bad, with a lot of help, a piece came off. Back at Vicki's place, Vicki had a surprise birthday cake for Mervin. Thanks Vicki!
