Summer's Here

Yes! After what felt like the wettest, longest winter ever (we are going soft) it feels great to welcome back the sunshine and lighter evenings.

I Love My Dogs

Ahhh Bisto!

Oooh we do so love our English foods. Thanks Nanny and Grampy.

First Kiwi Wedding

Paul and I went to our first wedding in NZ. Liaga and Tracey got married and had their reception right by Lake Karapiro. It was a great day.

Lake Karapiro

At the end of October this lake (which is 5 minutes away) will host the World Rowing Championships. Look out for it on Sky Sports.

Waihou River

The weather is really starting to pick up and we thought we would head to the river for a picnic. NZ at its best.

Fraser and Joe bake

All was going well in the kitchen and I was most impressed with Fraser's handmade gingerbread man (we don't have a cutter). After I congratulated him on his artistic ability he decided to go one step further and make a willy... Boys!

In the Classroom

My 6 week practicum was with year 7's in a private school. Great kids and a lot of learning, mostly mine I might add!
