I would like to pretend that the lack of festive pictures was some sort of intentional commentary about social media in our lives or something equally thought provoking and insightful. The reality is that its actually a testament to the fact I’ve not picked up my big camera in months and I snap the odd…

8 times around the sun. I won’t wax lyrical beyond saying she had a fabulous birthday and she’s pretty damn awesome, I love her. She’s bright, cheeky and a bit of a know-it-all, unfortunately with that she’s also often right so I can’t even shut her down with a ‘but mumma knows best’. She asks…
Read moreFerries, Cities and Lots of Driving
Our break up to Wellington was the juxtapose to our ski staycation. The drive to the ferry in itself was nearly 6 hours and that was before a 3h lunchtime sailing and 45 mins on the other side. The weather was mixed but it was a lovely break away with my people. We were last…
Read moreA Little Holiday
A trip down south. A couple of night away and such fun. A breath of fresh (wintery) air. Hiking in the shadow of our amazing countries tallest mountain. Icebergs on glacial lakes. Sunsets over snow. Steep climbs leading to big views. Swing bridges and handstands. Autumn colours and steep moraines. And a sneaky pic thats…

We had a lovely trip over to the coast a couple of weekends ago. We went primarily as the kid had a gym comp over there but turned it onto a nice couple of family days and walking and exploring. Pictures in reverse order as thats how they loaded and I’m to lazy to move…
Read moreNorway Pt2
Our last days in Norway were spent in Geiranger and Bergen. I didn’t get any pics of Bergen. We just had a quiet walking and exploring day and because it was a bit overcast the camera stayed in the bag. It is a beautiful town, full of little nooks and lanes as well as a…

It’s not a bad life – Norway was definitley the highlight of May.
Read moreNorway pt1
We had a wonderful trip up the English Channel to Norway – smooth calm seas and most of the travelling done at night. Our first stop was Stavanger and we headed out of the town to hike the Manafossen waterfall. It was a short but steep walk up to the top to view the falls…
