We came back last night from the most wonderful week away, we were treated to flights around MT Cook and Milford Sound. A few days in Tekapo and another couple down in Queenstown. The weather was not always kind but generally we escaped the worst of the expected rain.
Sadly coming home we came back to a disaster.
We have had about 5 sheep stolen and it looks like someone killed a cattle beast in the paddock and cut it up there to take away. That's bad enough but at least we are insured, what was worse was over at the Gardens.
Some total brain dead moronic @!#&%# broke into the Garden store room and took all the weed-killers and sprayed almost all the vegetable gardens, the lavender beds and some of the orchard. My heart goes out to Kurt and his fellow gardeners they have gone through hell to get these gardens established and in one foul deed it has largely been ruined. Even the new water storage tanks only put in a few weeks ago have been attacked and the pumps stolen.
They took a lot of garden tools and equipment (Not like they will have brains to work out how to work a spade) as well as seeds and young plants.
Im not sure what will happen to the garden, I have rung Kurt to tell him but he isnt back from holiday, but I am betting this will gut him. The police said they will be in today sometime, no hurry it seems as its been done and gone.
It absolutely guts me that people so can be so small minded to cause such chaos and destruction, I hope the rest of 2013 improves.
I haven't seen bear, but I have heard from him via radio, he is staying between Linda's and Sandy's, apparently he has not been to well and is waiting to hear when he goes in for surgery.
