You can't beat it!

'It's true you can't live here by chance, you have to do and be, not simply watch or even describe. This is the city of action, the world headquarters of the verb.'

Wellington! On a good day!

Winter Wellington, Part Two

A stunning Winter Wellington morning taking my visiting parents to see the City and Harbourside markets. Brilliant. Coffee, French Baker, Roquefort cheese, old-fashioned lollies, fantastic foot-tapping live music, super fresh fish, Vitamin D, the buzz of the city.

Winter Wellington

We are so pleased the lovely Maranui Cafe has reopened in Lyall Bay, Wellington. We love it for family get-togethers. The kite boarders were spectacular in the winter sunshine this morning.

M10 is wearing the kilt my grandmother brought me back from Scotland when I was 10;-) Both girls are wearing brand new Grandma knitting. My cunning plan has been to get her to do the kid's knitting leaving my needles free for me.
