Lot of fun yesterday. Our Napier retirement village organised an outing and 38 of us boarded a bus for a mystery tour at 8.30am. We went to a medieval museum in the Ashley Clinton area of Central Hawkes Bay.

Private Hawke's Bay museum features medieval weapons, hunting trophies - NZ Herald

What a great outing. A lot of the weapons were fired and it was great noisy fun. Honestly, the bloke is living the boys dream!!

Then we stopped for lunch at the Sawyers Arms Hotel at Tikokino before coming home.

That looks like it was a great day Kenj, love the medieval weaponry. who would have thought we had that kind of gear in NZ. I assume they are replicas?

Yes, built by him and his family.

Hmmmm, I wonder if telling attractive gentlemen my Dad taught me to rabbit punch when I was four would work for me?

Couldn't hurt I reckon, and more easily relocatable than a Trebuchet that throws angry cats.

That's far too many feet for a proper cat --- - -- it couldn't even manage 100 feet per life - - - unless it was a near centicat.

Truly dreadful. Maybe even a catastrophy.

Maybe a reverse Flying Fox - perhaps wire guided angry cats using catenary catapults?

That's hilarious. And here I thought when they got let out they only did things like bowls and shopping. Or were made to stay in doing basket weaving and sit in chairs exercising with arm movements only.

Cool.
I like the arrow machine. And the giant one being lit. I want one of each.

I prefer not to have my name used.
And I wasn't referring to the inhabitants, it's the staff that generally are like that. As I said They got let...not they chose to..
