Each week we ask a person from our community what their perfect weekend would be. This week Finn Williams spoke to Rangitīkei farmer Richard Gower.
I'm sure for most people, their perfect weekend would involve hiking or biking or climbing mountains but, for me, I do all of those things in a normal week on the farm.
So my perfect weekend after a week of hard work would be to just spend some quiet time at home.
On Friday evening, once my wife is off of her shift cycle, I'd share a beer and some Indian takeout with her. I'm particularly partial to a good vindaloo.
If we were lucky we could share it with our youngest son too, as he'd be home for the weekend from boarding school, and we'd give our oldest son a call to catch up.
