Landing

This week at work we received this amazing scaled down waka hourua. It’s going to Auckland eventually for their education programme but until then it’s gracing our foyer. 

It’s made almost entirely out of recycled materials and can be taken apart for easy transportation. Beautiful. 

And These!

 I have lawn daisies!

As a complete non-gardener these are something I’ve quietly always wanted. I know they are probably technically a weed but they definitely spark joy so they’re staying. 

Spring Equinox

It’s definitely spring. Flowers are either out or on the way and there’s a light dusting of yellow pine pollen over everything. It’s also definitely the equinox with crazy weather including gale force winds. 

Cuzzies

Last weekend was our annual cuzzies weekend away in Taupō and we’re getting pretty good at balancing lazing around and gentle activity.  Sunset over the lake,

Boat trip to the carvings at Mine Bay

Huka Falls 

And yes, we also had a soak in the hot pools which has become a mandatory part of the weekend.
