Happy Monday :)

Morning all! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a fab weekend. Here in Welly we're enjoying an extremely rare 10 day stretch of the most perfect weather you could imagine: Clear blue sky, not too hot, not too cold, a slight breeze to cool off. So pretty sure most Wellingtonians and New Zealanders have had great weekends! If you're in Queensland, hope you're staying safe and dry, and if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, hope you're keeping warm. xo

Miniature Welly

For those of you reading from places far, far away, who have ever wondered what Wellington - the beautiful city I'm privileged to live in and that I talk about all the time - looks like, here's a fabulous video by a guy named Jared Gray that captures Wellington honestly and beautifully... and he's made it look like a miniature city - Love it!

A chilly place called home

Wellington, you can be so nasty and cruel sometimes, sneaking your icy fingers into the tiniest gap in our clothing. No matter how hard we try to cover up, to shield ourselves from you, you still find a way in. We rearrange our scarf and you sneak down our neck; we pull our collar up and you creep up from the ground inside our wool coat; we pull our coat closer and you slip through the gaps between the buttons; and before we know it, we're at work where we can be warm, at least until our stomach starts to grumble, then you meet us at the door. Then, for no reason at all in the middle of an otherwise miserable day, you part the clouds for us and that blue sky we see so rarely at this time of year frames you, our city, just the way we like it and we ignore the icy fingers and forgive you for another day because, wind, hail, snow, rain or shine, you are our home.
