Enough from Mother Nature

Dear Mother Nature,

Last year you threw just about everything you had at us – droughts, floods, snow; earthquakes and disease.

This year was supposed to be different and it is for those of us living in the south of the South Island.

But further north the endless rain is damaging strawberry crops; forced farmers to dump milk; and adding to the misery for kiwifruit growers.

It’s not doing a lot for holiday makers either and a new spate of biggish earthquakes in Christchurch will be the last straw for many.

Many individuals and the country as a whole have had enough.

Please, sit back, take a deep breath and calm down so we can too.

Yours in hope,
