MANIFESTATION

2020. A new decade has begun. Last year I became a mother. One of the most sacred titles you could forsake on this earth, I felt womanly, like a divinity or goddess with magical powers, & yet as we reigned in 2019, I felt flat. Had I achieved all I wanted to become, was I […]

Goals

2018. My friend and I were talking about change the other day. We both love change and couldn’t imagine doing the same thing for a long period of time. My friend is pretty cool. We have been good friends since High School and he just won Australian Survivor – but that’s not what makes him […]

A few of my favourite things

I am back in the Hawkes Bay for the Christmas season. I haven’t posted in a while. It was so neat to read my late posts and see how much things have changed. In the past two years I have completed my qualification in Education and completed my first year of Primary teaching in Auckland! […]

What to do on a long weekend..

Birdwoods Gallery is my favourite garden and gallery to visit in Havelock North their collections forever changing and the furniture always rearranged to please the shoppers eye. Every time I visit I am taken by the new art covered walls, antique treasures, jewellery collections, cow hides, cushions and fabrics. The menu delicious, the slices fabulously fresh and […]

The move back to Auckland

I love the Hawke’s Bay and ideally I would like to settle here. I realised that if I wanted to stay here and look at settling properly, I would need a career that would keep me busy & happy. Using my BA in Art History and English I have gone back to Auckland […]

Summer’s arrival

Hooray, summer is finally here! This year has been both challenging and rewarding. Bring on 2016 I say – a year of opportunity! Must do in the Hawkes Bay Waimaramara beach & battle the waves Ocean beach, stop off at the lookouts during the drive and get a picture when the sun is setting or […]

Auckland Adventures

Each time I visit Auckland, I have a new adventure prepared, which makes visiting fun. Having so many friends in Auckland means that I get to visit somebody new every time. I feel a bit like a travelling gypsy. Last week I stayed on a boat with my dad, he cooked bacon and eggs in the […]

Home in the Hawke’s Bay

Believe it or not we found this gem on Trade Me, and we decided, for our families sake to make a leap and purchase in the Hawkes Bay. So many people ask ‘why the bay?’ – well to be honest, it just felt right, and when it feels right you have to take a chance.

Up Close and Personal

I’m by no means the country type, even though the majority of my family live on farms…somewhere in New Zealand (I’m quite sure where even!), so seeing these majestic horses everywhere throughout the Hawkes Bay is something else. Despite their size they are gentle, intelligent creatures that I have become obsessed with capturing. Yes, I’m the girl […]
