Weekend Escape

Happy Monday to you! I feel energized and happy after a wonderful weekend away for the first time since moving. We escaped to a small bay two hours north of Christchurch. It's the perfect spot to unwind, with no phone or internet to distract. In fact the boys had so much fun they managed to go for an entire weekend without begging for an iPhone once :-)

The little holiday home is a typical kiwi bach, very basic with a wonderful beach-y feel. The decoration there inspired me to add a little coastal feel to my own home. 

We ate fresh salmon and enjoyed a nice bottle of local wine - it doesn't get much better than this...

I am thinking of everyone struggling through the cold temperatures in Europe. I hope these images give you a little summer feeling.

Tschüss...
