August was a pretty classic month of winter hibernation for me, although I did take an amazing girls’ trip away to the Coromandel too. It was one of the rainiest months on record, which was excellent for my blog writing at least. And we had plenty of time to start plotting summer adventures! Here’s what I did manage to get up to…
Queen’s Birthday spent exploring Lake Wainamu by Bethells Beach
Hello there! As you may be able to tell by the length of time since my previous post, June and July were extremely busy and fun months. Beach walks, yummy food, lots of winter sunshine… oh yeah, and the small matter of an amazing trip to the UK to catch up with friends and check out (my fourth) Glastonbury Festival! Let’s get to it!
Idyllic scenes at Cornwall Park
May was gone in a flash, even though we didn’t venture far afield. Escaping the city in the middle of Auckland, beach time and watching the leaves turn – it’s been the perfect relaxing autumn month!
April was all about making the most of the late summer sunshine and warm temperatures that we were blessed with in New Zealand this year – and trying not to ponder too hard whether it was global warming! We headed up north for an Easter escape with friends which we spent relaxing, playing endless rounds of games (Bananagrams is my new fave), reading and exploring, with the literal highlight being our climb up Mount Manaia. Here’s my April!
