Officially summer is over in our kiwi world as the clocks go back, but not the body clock, as we swing into the next trimester in more ways than one!
The Gran’ma of one is about to become a Gran’ma of three (boys) in the coming weeks… as we continue our circle of life.
The summer flowers are finished and going into hibernation for the winter, which seems to have come early…the 1st of March saw the shorts packed away waiting for their annual trip to Malta and the Jeans and thermals are taking the front seat!
It’s been a busy couple of months…road trip to New Plymouth staying at belt road holiday park with my cousins and paying our respects to a dear family friend, Okie, at his Marae then Wanganui with my Carter family.
Followed by a couple of days at Easter, camping it in Bowentown with Jaxon’s family! Beaching, pedal cars, playgrounds and bunking down with the mr three year old in the caravan…whilst navigating the never ending roadworks on my travels resulting in a new windscreen on my car!
Meanwhile battling with work life and the media led Kiwi recession, resulting in a very nervous client base!
However, my world is about to change….this year I am actually taking a break, and no computer on my European travels. Since Russ left me, I have not had a week off without work (4.5 years) and the 60 something body is telling me it’s time to slow down! Rather than just growing the roses….its time to smell them!
A couple of months ago I decided it was time to make some changes and drink Champagne instead of beer (occasionally) I am taking the leap of faith and leaving my 9-5! (Actually 5-9) job before I head off in July to once again explore the northern hemisphere and return in October with a fresh start and new projects!
Watch this space!
All who wander are not Lost girls 
All the best for your change of focus. We enjoyed our time in Malta and wish you well for this year’s break. Champagne rather than beer sounds a good move too. Cheers Chris from Nelson.Sent from my Galaxy
