    I’m a Central girl and no matter where we roam in the world, coming down into Alex, smelling the thyme again - it’s always home.

    Alexandra is my home town. Thyme goes wild as often considered a weed. But yes the region can very dry during the summer months as can most of new Zealand. I would suggest checking out pool burn and the Dunstan road track if you get a chance

    While I'm sure you'll check out the main attractions of gore (Moonshine Museum, Art Gallery etc, depending on where you're heading next there are 2 must see's in the area. If you're heading east the "Tuapeka Punt" (open from 10am to 2pm depending on river conditions) is a free car ferry that crosses the Cultha River its powered entirely by the current of the river and goes back to the days before there were bridges across the river. If you're heading west, you should definitely stop at a little village called Mandeville which hosts the Croydon Aviation Centre, a big collection of historic planes, a nice little cafe and some of the cheapest scenic flights you can get in New Zealand.

    The lower half of the East Coast of New Zealand can get very dry as well ... I've been in Napier\Hastings area in summer and everything was brown. The Wairarapa (Masterton etc.) also dries out and the fire risk is high.

    Sorry Mado isn’t feeling too good at the moment. Any menstrual symptom, and they’re all horrible, relates to a hormonal imbalance. If you go to a health shop and get a zinc supplement and a Clinicians magnesium supplement it should help. They can be taken all year round, one of each with food in the morning and again at night. Let them know if you’re on any prescription meds. Fingers crossed and good luck.
