SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 2 MARCH 2025

 Good morning and welcome to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  I'm Kathie, a team member and sketch designer from                Auckland, New Zealand. 

If your geography is good, you'll know that New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere. We are the first country in the world to see the sunrise daily.

Our Christmases are usually warm, sometimes sunny, and families celebrate differently, traditionally or with BBQs at the beach or at home. 

                I live approximately 50km from Auckland,  Auckland is called the City of Sails. I live in Pukekohe, they call it the bread basket of New Zealand for its Market Gardens and cropping land with the rich volcanic soil and Dairy Farming, Sheep and Beef cattle farming as well.

Auckland's Population is approximately 2 million.

 Auckland day and night views.

Pukekohe township and cropping land

 population approximately 27,500 people.

Thank you to everyone who entered February's challenge, we'll be back on 19th March with February's winner.

Here are our two new sketches from March and don't forget we have a third, a blast from the past from our archives.  Please feel free to use that as well, even better use all three sketches, it would be brilliant to see so many entries.
