Ain't life great

My family and I have just spent a couple of hours by the lake in Taupo. The sun was hot, the water was cold and everyone was having a great time.

There were boats parked on the beach with young people everywhere out having a few drinks, a few rides on wake boards, sea biscuits and homemade jetskis. There was no wind so some were sitting in the boot of their car flying a kite as the car drove around. There were families with their kids; others with their dogs; older folk in their camper; people cycling, walking, running, sitting, ...

There were no 'sock police', 'anti-fun zealots' or spoilers anywhere. Everyone was enjoying themselves - almost seemed like a different world to that which we read about every day where we are constantly being told what we can and can't do. Perhaps a few of the politicians need to come down to the beach on a day like this to see what life is really all about for a lot of people.

Happy summer.
