A long weekend in New Zealand

Jules and I met when we worked together in London, a long time ago, feels like a lifetime. I grew up going to New Zealand with my mother to visit her Uncle so I am no stranger to our pacific cousins and always love going to visit.

I try to get over once a year to see the Herlihy clan and on this occasion I got to meet the newest member Lily, gorgeous girl :) My friends live in a wonderful village and I spent some time driving around looking at this most relaxing area just outside of Auckland. The rest of the time was spent cooking, drinking lovely wine and spending time with special people both big and small. A perfect weekend away all in all. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed my mini break.

How is this for a lovely vege patch! I want one...my city courtyard may not suffice though...

Charlie and the special camera :) He really is the budding photog.

Village life and the land of the long white cloud

Fun times with the kids on the new trampoline, clearly we should all get on a trampoline regardless of our age ;)

The diversity of New Zealand always strikes me and I love the mix of country and seaside so close together.

"my nana loves me to bits and pieces!"

Thank you Air New Zealand for not cancelling my flight home, although I do wonder about the picture of my plane coming in sideways...should I have been worried?

We like to party...

Ok so that is a really lame song, but was played on the night...I do wonder about some DJ's. Needless to say, it was a great night, all the girls dolled up to celebrate with Michelle at Hotel Realm in Canberra and then have a dance after despite the cold. Can't wait for Cairns and the big day!
