Let the gaming begin!!An utterly delicious spread from @beyondsushinycOk, perchance sacrilegious, but I’d never had @ikea #meatballs before I went plant based. However!! Turns out they have #plantbased ones, so I decided to give ‘em a go. Spaghetti is such simple, quick comfort food - perfect for a rainy, blah night. They cooked up well and tasted fine! Not saying they’re the best, most flavourful plant balls I’ve ever had, but they did the job credibly. Cheers!No filter. Just the beaming face of a joyfully aging woman surrounded by love (and tea!!).Some days, some years, things just fall into place. Best 31st bday ever. (Technically, the ONLY 31st bday I’ve ever had, but still! It was pretty freaking grand! Thanks to the crew and @s_ggreco for a wonderful, fabulous day ♥️)It was time to tidy up my vigorous spider plant!! So many behbehs to transplant!! 🪴-

Queenstown Letdown and Discovering Mount Cook
From Wanaka, I made my way down to Queenstown, Tourist Central and Home of Adventure Sports such as skiing, boating, sky-diving, and a really big swing. Before I got there, I took a brief detour to Arrowtown, a small village … Continue reading

Wet on the West Coast
What’s the first thing that springs to mind when I say West Coast? Ok, probably California. But, unlike that warm, sunny, American expanse, the West Coast in New Zealand is generally referring to the section on the South Island along … Continue reading

Farewell Spit
No, it’s not the name of some strange leaving ritual (though now that you mention it…) – it’s the stretch of land right at the tippy top of the South Island. Weather was inclement, but I wasn’t going to let … Continue reading

Southward, ho!
I was catching the 8am ferry from Wellington to Picton via the Cooke Straight, so I drove into the outskirts of Wellington around 6.30am. There are two companies that make the crossing, InterIslander and BlueBridge. I opted for BlueBridge as … Continue reading
