    Seek out distant horizons and cherish those you attain.

    Kia ora. Brrrrrrrr, who else is feeling the cold? Last week was the official start of Winter!  That got me thinking about seasons.  We know Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter but what other types of seasons are there?  I saw something on the news about the duck hunting season and how it has been delayed by the lockdown and that made me wonder about fishing seasons.  Are there specific times of the year when certain types of fish are caught (or not caught)?   We will spend some time at the start of the week researching limitations to fishing (of fin fish and shell fish) due to seasons.  What do these limitations mean for consumers?  How do they affect demand (or want) for products?
