My best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2008. I can't believe that I have been here in New Zealand for nearly 3 months already but the camera and the calendar don't lie. Speaking of cameras, you will see that I have posted some photos in this blog - my new house, Olive at 8 weeks and Ash, India and Joe trying out their boogie boards and wet suits safely on dry land. They tried them out in the sea a couple of hours later..
I went in for a dip myself and it was not as cold as last year. We have
had some lovely weather, and have to keep well covered in sun cream.
Not really trying to make all you in the Northern hemisphere jealous!!!!
We will, of course get our comeuppance while you are all basking in the
sun in your summer. It still feels rather strange to be celebrating this
holiday in the sun, and knowing that the new year for us brings autumn
and winter. First, though, us winter birthday types are looking forward
to being outside and maybe having a barbeque.
Whoops! have lost one of the photos so should probably finish while I am still marginally ahead, and leave the rest until another day.. I will get a photo of Ben in the next batch. All my love Carol xx
