For my last post this year, I'm reflecting on some of the things we did on holiday that I'd like to do more of at home. Sort of New Year resolutions I guess. Our holiday was AMAZING, I had a great time. I'm sad to have left but glad to be home too. Some things... Continue Reading →
It's fair to say I haven't read nearly as much as I planned to on holiday, so I'm a tad behind on this blogmas feature, but here's the second of my recommendations from the lovely Aimee. I plan to read everything from my original list, the reviews will just be later than I planned. Aimee... Continue Reading →
A few days before we left NZ, Mum, S and I went to Orana Wildlife Park. It was great, except the part where I smashed up my phone screen. So, all my photos from there are on the big camera (and let's be honest, they're not going to get moved off there any time soon... Continue Reading →
Omarou was a day trip we took with most of the family. It has a little Steampunk museum there that Mum and Dad had previously visited and enjoyed. It was full of weird and wonderful creatures and machines, including a dentist chair set-up but no-one would let me operate on them. I don't know why.... Continue Reading →
At the time I'm posting this, I'll be starting my travels home (for definite this time) but I still have a couple more Views from NZ to share with you! Hokitika was just a brief stopping point on our travels to and from the Glaciers so my comments on it will also be brief. The... Continue Reading →

Oh my goodness. How the hell is it Christmas Eve already? Well, it is here. I have no idea if it is in the UK yet or not. Today I'm bringing my most Christmassy view from New Zealand: the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. Husband and I went up in a helicopter and flew over... Continue Reading →
One of our best trips whilst we've been over here was to Kaikoura to go whale watching. We had THE BEST DAY. We got to see a Sperm Whale resting on the surface of the water before diving (so cool). Then a pod of dusky dolphins came to play by the boat. The other highlight... Continue Reading →
Today on A Merry Little Bookmas, I'm reviewing Rainbow Opera by Elizabeth Knox, which was recommended by Louise from Book Murmuration. Louise says: "Rainbow Opera is an old fave nobody from YA community seems to track down, but it is one of the best books I've read and I want people to try it." My Thoughts:... Continue Reading →
