The Rolleston Dogwalking Park

Big News today - the Rolleston Dogwalking park opened. Up till now we've been expected to walk our dogs on the lead or drive for 15km to walk them by the river. Today we drove past on such a journey and noticed that the soon to be opened dog park was in heavy use already.

It was heaving with about six groups of dogowners - not bad considering it is not officially in business yet. It is a triangle of land with sides of about 150m so its not huge, but a dog park is considered quite a luxury in this country.

It is a sore point with us really. There are endless football pitches which are used for 2 hours on a Saturday for 4 months of the year by 100 people or so. But no dog parks which are used by dozens of people all the time.

Thats the main thing that's going on here this weekend. Jo is out for the night so I am staying in with a bottle of wine which is two thirds gone already.
