While back in NZ we had a quick stop off at Huka Falls.

And the photo reminded me of one we took when we last went to Huka Falls back in March 2006.

Four years later and we don’t look a day older. Well, perhaps a day…..

There is a charity event called Jeans Day where people wear jeans to work and give money to charity. Today wasn’t that day – but my goodness there were a lot of jean wearing people about!

You may have heard that the G20 summit is happening in London. You may have also seen all the protests. [...]

Not that things were every “looking down”, but the sun shone today and that always makes me happy!

It was a beautiful day in London today. It was warm enough to be outside with just a long-sleeved top and jumper. So I met up with a friend and went for a walk through Hampstead Heath along [...]

I have been sick for over a week, and am just starting to feel like my real self. Although I have just spent the last hour doing chores and now I need a sit down, so my energy levels are not quite up to 100% it would seem.

As you all know, it is winter here (although I am hoping it is turning into spring – but I don’t want to curse anything – so I keep saying it is winter!). And in winter I spend a lot more time on the couch, under a duvet, with a laptop on my lap, watching [...]

After having my last pair for 10 years, I decided it was time for a change. And change I did!

I love them!

we are freezing over this side of the world!
Well actually today is quite pleasant. It was a hat and gloves day, but you could still feel your feet and hands when you went outside!!

Yesterday, however, was another story! I think it was the coldest day I have experienced while living here in the UK. It [...]

This time last year I included a photo of me and Stocky in front of our tree.
I didn’t want you to think I was boycotting Christmas this year – so proof the Christmas spirit hit me at some point – proof I at least have Christmas decorations in the house!

Can you spy our washing hanging [...]

I am not ready for Christmas. Yes, it is only two days away but I am not mentally, physically or psychologically prepared!

I bought an advent calendar this year, but didn’t get around to actually buying the lollies to put into it (it’s a cloth one which you can use year after year and put your [...]
