We arrived with only a 15 minute head notice and they welcomed us as if we were old aquantinces dropping in for a long anticipated visit.
We were hugged, shown to a bedroom with a king-sized bed, offered help with our bags and freedom to make ourselves at home.
Jo and Judy Rainy, parents of Annie, (whom we met in Wellington), Libby and Tom, graciously took us, fed us huge helping of dinner and acted enthusiastic about our presence. They devoted their Saturday night to hanging out with us, driving us on a tour of Nelson, a coastal city full of ex hippies and artists, and including us on their beach walk with Nikki, their blind and deaf cockerspaniel.
Sunday morning we all went to church together and they drove us an hour toward our destination in Golden Bay.
Their home is full of love and laughter, and we will stop by every chance we can.
