Now I hope you're all impressed. I've just opened (is that the right term?) – wait for it – an Instagram account!
Thus I'm now able to look at the videos, including the latest one.
Come on folks, you can't be firing on all cylinders. This one's easy. It's taken looking roughly east from the "Little Wilderness" building using a Sony XV34 camera set to HD and if you listen carefully you can just hear the postman delivering three letters and a small parcel!
The camera and postman are just my little joke! Perhaps I should get out more? perhaps I'm getting above myself?
Seriously though, if you go on to Mr. Google's excellent "Street View" and look east (the road goes roughly north/south) onto the LW land, you can see the same skyline. It's also the same skyline as the one seen through the window in the video of Chris playing the piano at LW about a week ago. The Street View image is out of date and does not show the new building or the improvements to the land. However if you compare it with some of the photos on the LW website, It's clear that it's the same skyline.
The Hayley in the blue gingham dress photo was also taken at one of the LW places where a wide spot in the stream has been beautified. Check out the Google over-head view.
"Love Coffee"? Breakfast with Chris, of course! Probably on that veranda. Judging by what little shadows are visible, I judge it was actually taken sometime around late morning or mid-day, so perhaps it was lunch with Chris rather than breakfast.
We might reasonably assume, therefore, that there are still there. Lucky them. Not envious. Well, perhaps a bit. Actually a lot!

I played it again just now, and it says she posted it 7 hours ago (which is approximate). It's currently 5:18pm (edit, 5:28, it took me 10 min. to compose this! LOL) here in Seattle. 7 hours ago was 10:18am here. New Zealand is 21 hours ahead of Seattle (I just checked the World Clock website for re-confirmation ) So, the way I figure out what time it is there on my own is to subtract 3 hours from my own time, and then add a day. So, it was in the 7 o'clock hour of Thursday morning when she posted it. Which means it was early in the morning, just as I thought. Birds usually don't sing that much and are not quite that active at mid-day, but they are early in the morning. The air/sky seems to have a misty/early morning look. Of course there are clouds there, but she posted it early in the morning, which tells me it was early in the morning. I hope you enjoyed that, spartboi. LOL

Hi all! Here is a screenshot of the Instagram Story video... I did not know it was a video! I saw that my friend Frank Lin who runs the Hayley Westenra Fans Taiwan page on Facebook had posted two images...I was racking my brain as to how he found it the second image! Good job Crissy on opening an account on Instagram! I had created one myself a short time ago to keep up with Hayley! My account name there is hdjoes.

Yes, following her on just twitter and FB doesn't do you much good these days. Since she only changed her profile pics on instagram and FB, but not twitter, I'm even more convinced that she never even logs on to twitter, since it doesn't appear you need to if you want to post your instagram posts to twitter. She only does that occasionally, though. Same thing with FB. She posts there less often than instagram, but still more than on Twitter, though that's not really saying much. LOL

Ah! I think you may be right, Libby. I missed the timing aspect and the birds do rather drown the sound of the postman! Defo getting above myself. I'll try to be more assiduous when sleuthing next time. In mitigation, the shadows are very indistinct ...
More seriously, nothing from Hayley for two days. I hope she's not ill! Perhaps she feels that she's been spoiling us and is retrenching in order to manage expectations.
BTW, I can't do the little smiley face icons or whatever they're called, so please be aware that some of my jotting are rather tongue-in-cheek and so don't take them too seriously (smiley face icon).

Yes, always in the (recent) past when she's started posting a lot all at once (not quite this much, I don't think), I tend to be wary that it'll all die off again soon, and usually, it has. I'm hoping that's no longer the case, but we'll see.

Well done crissy, I connected up my computer to the Internet for the first time way back when just to join the old Hayley Westenra Official forum. I had up to then been happily ignoring the whole interweb thingy. I have to say Google Earth and street view are one of my favourite ways to take armchair holidays.

Libby I read your comments and agree with a lot of them. When I made my comments it wasn’t to hurt Hayley or the Young man. Let me explain. I was in the music business For quite awhile. My groups career was started in 1958 thru 1963 when I was drafted into the army. We wasn’t In the very top of the music scene but we was pretty good. We opened shows for the top of the music entertainers in those days Example: The Letterman / Paul Anka / Bobby Vee / Bryan Hyland / Dick & Dee Dee and many more. So the reason I used the words sound man was because when I sang that’s what we called the person who was doing the sound. My group came back in 1998 and did 2 More cds. The group finally retired 1 month ago. I hope this wasn’t to much info but I just wanted you to know why I used that wording. I hope this helped. Thank you Wow ! I am impressed, I remember the first time I heard Sealed with a kiss by Brian Hyland and thinking I must get that record, I did, played it over and over and I still have it.

Another Instagram Story from Hayley...this one is a few seconds' silent video of a campfire at Little Wilderness NZ. The two people she tagged are George and Katie Vodanovich. Katie is co-owner of LWNZ.

I presume the message "Sorry , I'm busy rn " is to a specific someone.
the fire may be a symbolic burning of bridges over troubled water.
the marshmallows, they are probably just for eating, just for pleasure..

Hiya Paul, I took the "rn" to mean "right now". Maybe one of these weeks we will be treated to hear her voice singing.

Uh, yeah, I was over here getting defensive and thinking you were assuming she was telling impatient Libby she's too busy right now, but then I'm thinking, not too busy to post another story for us! I feel sure the album is getting closer, so I'm less impatient than I was. "Less" being the operative word. LOL
