Summer Holidays....

We're all back - kids to school, and me to my office. Thought it would be hard to get back into it, but reality is that I have missed my little 'haven' and missed the brain being creative! So happy New Year, and roll on 2012!!

Summer holidays this year have been all about being with family, creating and eating outstanding food (way too much), being outside every day, gardening, beach, waterfall, pizzas, and climbing the odd mountain (don't ask - still a bit twitchy about that one!!! Just thinking about it makes my knees ache). Just catching up on things that we get too busy for during the rest of the year. Has been wonderful. I'm feeling so in love with the Wairarapa right now. It is just magic over summer. I hope you have been having a great summer, too?
