The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Here in New Zealand I am staying in a place called Coatesville. It is about 3KM from Albany, about 30KM north of Auckland. It is a really nice little town. Quiet. Peaceful. Albany has a megacentre strip mall with the normal sorts of shops. And Westfields are about to start building a shopping centre there. North Harbour Stadium is also in Albany.

Today I went out to near Helensville, a location that is aparently used in a lot of movies since it looks like a town from the 50’s. Kevin and I did some walking in the countryside whilst his wife did some riding. This was enjoyable. I took a lot of photos – and I will add them here when I get the chance.

I saw a property in Coatesville on the way there that was used to shoot part of the film of the C.S.Lewis book “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe”. I have been meaning to read this series of books for years. Maybe now I will.
