Happy New Year!



I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays and the start of the Roaring 20's, is going well. Sorry I have been a little quiet here but have been enjoying family time, dog walks and relaxing. Here are a few photos taken the past few days. Bluebell's first Christmas with us and wondering what present is hers.


Saying goodbye to this decade, in my favourite place, at home with my favourite little puppy Bluebell.

Just want to take this moment to say a big thank you to all my friends, for the love and support last year. Here's to a new decade and wishing you a joyous year, filled with happiness and adventure.
Wishing you a happy New Year, I hope 2020 brings you everything you dream of and more.
hugs
Carolyn

  4. Dearest Carolyn,
    Well, your puppy Bluebell has grown up and seems to be very much a part of the family!
    They truly are family members and that's how it ought to be.
    Happy to read that you had some valuable family time over the special Christmas and New Year's Eve time.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    how nice to see the Christmas photos from your atmospheric home with your cute fur "baby"! (Bluebell is already big, I know, but I think, just like for us our cats, she will remain your baby forever ;-)) I am happy to read that you enjoyed family time, dog walks and relaxing - and I hope New Zealand will be spared from the terrible drought that affects Australia. (I'm so sad about this news ... all the losses, the shocking stories from the koalas etc ... do you feel any effects of the bushfires in Australia in NZ?)
    I thank you very much for your good wishes. I also wish you and your family a great, wonderful, healthy 2020!
    Love & hugs, Traude

    1. Dear Traude,

      Thank you for the very kind note and wishing you and your family all the best for 2020.
      Yes, it has been very sad news with the fires in Australia and there has been days when the smoke dust has drifted across to NZ, making the sky a yellow/orange colour and not allowing the sun to shine through. One day it was so dark at 2 pm in the afternoon we had to turn out lights on inside. Really hope they can get the fires under control and they can get some decent rainfall. thanks for your friendship.
      hugs
      Carolyn

  12. Bluebell sure looks like she's enjoying her home at Christmastime. I am wondering what she got under the tree too. : ) I hope the new year is being kind to you, Carolyn. And wishing you much goodness along the way.

  15. Dearest Carolyn,
    thank you for your lovely comment on my blog and your nice new year wishes. And thanks for answering my question about the effects of Australian bushfires in New Zealand. The yellow-orange sky and all the dust and ashes must have been a shocking sight, since you knew what the reason for it was... I hope you and your loved ones are doing well! Give the sweet Blubell a hug from me :-)
    Love Traude
