I’m Aimee, mum and wife. Our days in New Zealand. Adventuring, at home, and sometimes travelling. I sew sometimes and crochet on even more occasionally. I like to delude myself I’m creative.
We love to travel. I hate to fly. Wine helps with that. Actually wine helps most things. Except quilting, wine doesn’t help quilting. Take my word for it.
Is it a particular day of remembrance over there? Or were you just near a memorial anyway? Always very poignant, so many names, so often the same names.
It was Anzac Day over the weekend which is NZs Remembrance Day. Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. It’s celebrated here in the same way 11.11 is done in the UK. Poppies and all.

Beautiful, in so many ways. xo
Lovely photo of my granddaughter
It’s wonderful that you take them to remember. The first world war seems so very far away from us now doesn’t it?
