Kia Ora...

from Christchurch, New Zealand!!


Flying into Christchurch



I'll be in this part of the World for just under 4 months - I will try to blog as much and hope you lovely readers come on an adventure with me ♥

I realise I lost my purse when I got on the train to the airport which is rubbish! Luckily it was in the car, but I guess it's a sign - big guy up there didn't want me to have my credit cards with me! I already promised I won't shop too much! Grr and now I dont have anything with me not even driving license makes it really tricky! so I would appreciate all your recommendations to do (free) stuff around NZ!

Country Barn

Thought I'd share some pictures of the lovely barn/cottage we stayed at last week!


Entrance/outdoor space


Kitchen


Top landing


So cute


New found hobby (actually won 6/6 games - must be beginners luck haha!)


Amazing main bedroom


Amazing main en-suite with the biggest bath & shower ever! We had fun times in there!


Amazing views all around




Had such an amazing time away from civilisation - long walks, tea, board games, reading, cooking ... it feels odd coming back to reality & seeing other human beings!! I want to stay there forever!! It's also a working dairy farm so I got to milk cows! Was so much fun, also saw baby cows, so cuteeee!




If you'd like to have a country retreat to get away from stress and have some peace & quiet, this really is the best place to be! In the middle of nowhere but yet within reach of fun things to do ie Exmoor, Dartmoor, Coastal Paths ... let me know if you're interested I can forward you details! We only paid £300 for a WHOLE week (sleeps up to 4 people & pets welcomed).

I really miss the fresh air, long walks and just total relaxation, no rush for anything! Ahh take me back there NOW!

Current favourite perfume






The lovely Rose 4 Reines from L'occitane ♥ With just one spray you can smell it throughout the day! Love the smell! Got this from Bicester Village for only £8!



Also purchased the Limited Edition Wild Cherry Tree - it smells lovely as well. Still in its packaging!


What is your current favourite perfume? Have you ever tried any fragrances from L'occitane?
