Shoes fit for three little Princesses
The theme for ‘The Gallery’ is shoes and prompted me to dig out this very special pair. These were the first shoes each of my three girls wore. They’ve lasted well!

Today was the first day of inclement weather in Wellington for the holidays, so we timed our visit perfectly. Whilst the rain did its…
Wordless Sunday: Motion

From ever since I can remember I wanted to travel. When I was a girl my dear father would spend half the year working overseas – in stints of a fortnight in Germany, a week in Norway, a few weeks in France or the United States of America. I only have happy memories of those…
