It’s been a busy weekend here of ‘spring cleaning’ in Wellington, New Zealand. The children have been busy playing with their neighbourhood friends, leaving hubby and I with plenty of time to sort out, declutter, get the garden ready for summer and so on and so on… however, it hasn’t all been work and no […]

⤠Paper towel art, birds, snails, ice-cream, wine-tasting & running!
A few things I’m loving from the past week… ⤠Colourful paper-towel art – dipped with fascination, in food coloured water; observed in awe, as the paper towel absorbed the colours; unravelled with surprise, as the pattern was revealed; put out to dry with love and a toy animal, to stop the breeze blowing away the […]
Photo A Day MAY | You (howling to the full moon!)
There is only one photograph of me taken today – and hubbie dearest did the honours. We had walked to the top of our street to watch the full moon rise over the distant hills. We got there just in time to see the moon lighting up the sky as it peeked up on the […]
Photo A Day MAY | Bird [flying on the eve of a full moon]
‘Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me!‘ Eric Carle you’ve given my little girl the thought that she can play with the moon. She stared at the moon, saying, ‘Hello Moon!’ and then turned to me and said, ‘Fetch a ladder Mummy!’. But, as mole discovers in ‘Bringing Down the Moon‘, some things are not […]
Photo A Day MAY | Something I wore today…
I LOVE Thursdays – especially this Thursday. Hubbie sometimes comes home early (4pm), as he has a tennis session at the court adjacent to Charlotte’s school. Most weeks he has to get his head back down to the grind stone for a few hours in the home office, but today I was buzzing to try […]
Full Moon & a mid-winter dip!
Glorious weather, from the warmest Autumn on record, has rolled into Winter (though we’re warned to make the most of the sunshine whilst it lasts!). My daughters didn’t hold back when the sun came out in warm splendour yesterday. They had such fun frolicking in the surf at Lyall Bay, skipping seaweed and throwing a […]
Lyrical Sunday (Week 19): Full Moon
I shivered as my bare feet touched the grass, The dampness of the night air chilled my bones. The full moon’s light cast its glow on the glass, Reflecting my figure as I walked to the dunes. My robe billowed about my naked legs, Teased by the sea breeze, whispering its call. Alone, I scanned […]
The ebb and flow of the tides…
I feel on my heart, like the gravitational pull of a full moon. Those early years with our children, side by side, are like two hearts knotted in a binding beat. Night and day our breath is shared. Learning, growing, getting to know the spirit that drives every conscious and unconscious thought. As our children […]
Theme for Week 19 Lyrical Sunday: FULL MOON
Tuesday 17 May marks the full moon and in the southern hemisphere it is called the ‘Snow Moon’. The Snow Moon is associated with the astrological sign of Scorpio. This is a good time for transformation, preparation and for strengthening communication. In the UK the full moon in May is often known as ‘Milk Moon’ […]
