Sunshine memories from Nelson

Posted on February 11, 2013 by BritMumInNZ

Just sitting here, with a glass of chilled wine, feeling a whole lot better than I did yesterday, and thinking there needs to be some sunshine photographs to mirror my mood on the blog. Here’s a few happy moments from our Nelson holiday…

Beautiful Cable Bay…

Soaking up the sunshine, the fresh berry ice-creams, the Marlborough wines… mmm, so, so good.
