A Valentine Suprise

Emerson & I have been together for 14 years, never before has he got me anything for valentines day, neither of us do, its not really our thang, when you are at school & a secret admirer gives you a card, then its exciting but when you have been together for a while its not quite as goosebump worthy,  just quietly I think the girls were on at him to get me something never-the-less a single red rose & a card, that'll do nicely, Thanks xxx

Our Spontanious Holiday in NZ

On a Monday morning a couple of weeks ago, I alighted from from bed with my lovely new mattress wondering what the new day had in store for me, I didn't have any work & the girls were still on holidays from school for another 2 weeks, I was greeted by my man who said I want to go home for a week or so to see his family, It was booked by 11am, we were at the airport by 4pm & in Auckland by midnight being picked up by my sister-in-law Louise then a long 3 hour ride to the Bay Of Islands, knackered......

We had a fab week, tranquility on the farm, fun filled days of picnics on the beach & all being together, although the girls are city girls, they fit right in with country life, swimming in the creek, picking plums from the tree's, sleeping all over the place & generally having a ball with all their cousins, we also had two new babies to meet, who were adorable, we packed alot into the week & it didn't go too fast ..
