Kiwi-land

So it's been a while since I posted and I thought I'd start with a few pictures from my latest trip back to NZ to see the family (and friends!) which was over December 2013 - January 2014.
My time back included many lunches with my brothers family (I miss my nephews so much! How adorable are they?), a trip to Otorohanga to visit the Kiwi -and other native birds- house, a photoshoot with two friends at the Hamilton Gardens using props made by Grant, and a trip to Auckland to visit other friends and drink coffee, explore the museum, climb trees and walk on water.
I really miss my lovely friends back in NZ, I'm making a promise to myself to make a huge effort to keep in touch more regularly, which should be easy thanks to the internet!

those eyes Finaly!

this duck was running up and down the fence-line.
It had an adorable quack.

antipasto platter and a glass of wine.

That grin!!

Details of my parents garden.
It just makes me happy every time I'm in it

New Zealand will always have my heart.
There will be more posts more regularly here from now on! And I'm going to try to keep my wordpress regularly updated too. That's got my writing on it - cafe reviews, poems, thoughts. Pop over and have a read of what's there already, I'd love any feedback or comments!

Till next we meet xx
