The sun has already started moving back. Today it was almost directly over the little valley- even slightly to the east of it. It’s amazing how quickly it changes. This month is the celebration of Matariki, when Matariki, the 7 sisters, or Subaru is supposed to be visible around sunrise. It was too bright to see by the time I went out.

When we build the house, I would like to be able to see the sunrise from bed, in winter.
In the kitchen the tea making counter should look to the little valley as well.
