The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Monday, May 26th

A lovely day—even at nine o'clock in the morning it was as warm as a summer's day in England and continued fine all day. Nothing can surpass the beauty of this winter weather. I was occupied all day commencing a cabbage garden at the Maori house. The men commenced the main drain down the gully. Hamilton pulling down a badly designed hen house and commencing a new one. Bowen and Maunsell came over in the afternoon in Wortley's boat. They had the report that the Regatta umpires had allowed the second boat's objection to bur rowing without rudder or steer'oar. Robert has finished the petite maison and Andy nearly completed the sashes of the kitchen window. Very comfortable in the evening. Commenced Waverley. Hamilton made some taffe.
