Seasons Greetings

 Just want to wish you joy, relaxation and good health these holidays.

May peace, love and oodles of good cheer be with you and sending love to all the folks who are alone or missing loved ones.
Here are a few recent photos taken around here

Bluebells first Christmas with us, and we are so happy to have this little dog in the family. Our wonderful family visiting us shared lots of cuddles and love with her, so she is one very happy puppy.
Even got to open her little present

The Pohutukawa trees are in bloom which can only mean one thing .... Summer and Christmas is upon us!
 
 A Merry Christmas and happy holidays from me, with love.
hugs

Signs of Spring!

Hello friends,

This is the first time in ages since I have been able to sit down and do a little blog post.  I am finding that it is so much easier to post a photo on Instagram these days. 

I love Springtime when some of my favourite flowers are around. A white camellia I picked yesterday and a bunch of freesias which smell beautiful.

Bluebell, this sweet little dog of ours, seems to take up so much of our time. She will be coming up a year on the 27th of October and how fast this year seems to be going!
Every morning we go for a lovely walk along the beach and she gets to socialise with all the other dogs there.

Also have been doing some work in our daughter Victoria's old bedroom - giving that a makeover and the plasterer has skimmed the walls and will soon be able to paint them.
It has been slow progress but hopefully one day will be finished and I will be able to share some photos.

Back in September, we had a wonderful holiday away in Port Douglas and our son Marcel came along with us.

Stayed in a Balinese style villa and had a lovely swimming pool

It was great to go to tropical Queensland and see lots of sunshine.
Went out to the Great Barrier Reef and spent the day snorkeling around tropical fish and coral which was amazing. Also took a short helicopter ride to view the reef from above which was spectacular.

Also have been working on a new Bear and it has been so long since the last one. I have a friend who is doing a new website for me, so one day will have that up and running.

Have been thinking of you all and look forward to coming over to say hello and see what you are up to.
Blogging friends, are the best and have missed you.
hugs
Carolyn
