One of the highlights of my trip to NZ was our visit to Rotorua Airport.
Ant & the boys took me to catch my plane down to Christchurch.
My grandson William is a firefighter at the airport & promised us a ride in the fire engine.
I went first as my plane was due in but after I had taken off William took Max, Finn & Ant at great speed along the runway. Both boys were able to spray water on the runway……they were thrilled!
My guest has gone home! Actually she was fine & only came back around 8pm plus she overpaid which was a nice surprise!
Bed all changed & our next guests in four weeks are William & his wife Erin who are over here for a wedding. Will be so lovely to have them.
Such heavy rain tonight….Harry had just finished mowing the lawn.
What a great time to be whizzing along up so high in the fire engine. As kids, every Christmas we got fire engine rides (my dad was in the local volunteer fire brigade). Probably not allowed to load up the engine with kids anymore!
@dide William has just become Morrinsville Station Officer, his red helmet arrived last week. He still loves his volunteer work at home. There is talk of the crew at the airport going out on road duties around the area.
William is a dedicated fireman.
