Is Summer here yet?

As we crawled through the last week of work before the Christmas Break (for some) we reflect on a year of achievements, adventures and family times! Grateful we can still run and fly!

Our world has certainly changed, but change is what keeps us on our toes and if we jump at the opportunities – life is still a story!

I guess it’s time to wish all those who have joined me in this journey of 2022…

My family….Dan and Lexi living next door, Jaxon, Steph and gran baby visiting the cottage, George coming and going and meeting me on the other side of the world! And the fur baby hanging out on working from home days!

More family and friends from all corners of the world!

2022 found my feet in many corners of the world, finally returning to my roots in Malta, and escaping some of the kiwi winter – with a side trip to the south of France. Spending three months in the glorious heatwaves of Europe!

Watching the grand baby gallop towards his 2nd year around the sun! Celebrating his 1st birthday in Feb, teaching him to wash cars, explore the beach, and eat little red sausages!

Upon my return from Europe, I moved back into my newly renovated house, that Dan and his crew had been working on over the winter! It was time to grow some colour and life into my home…Russ taught me to grow veges and Mary(mum) the flowers!

My new hobby of growing stuff has seen us not buy a lettuce for 2 months, and added colour to what has been a very dull wintery spring! The incessant rain has at least minimalised my water bill! Weekend gardening has been interrupted with painting and recycling old furniture, tyres for my fruit tree surrounds and myself!

The last few days has finally brought some winter relief and the shorts are out! Summer is on its way at last!

The Christmas tree is up, the food shopping done, the presents wrapped and tomorrow(Christmas day) promises sunshine, family and friends!
