A friend and I went to a farm in the country, where the owners grow all types of daffodils that you can pick by the bucketful in return for a donation to a charity that helps mothers and babies - called Plunket. ( The name is after Lady Plunket, wife of the Govenor General about the turn of the 20th century, who herself had eight children)
Also local sculptors were invited to exhibit pieces in amongst the beautifully kept gardens and ponds.
We wandered toward a bridge over the pond, and I said Ah Ha, I recognise this structure, it was a mathematical bridge... far from where I saw one last year... over the river Cam in Cambridge England.
Its claim to fame is that any piece of timber can be removed if it is rotten without the bridge falling down.
A swan glided into the photo, and with a magnificent Eucalyptus tree in the backround, a very memorable moment!
