I just had another
lovely weekend away in Wellington!
There were lots of
lovely conversations, food and drinking…..and LAUGHTER! Oh and not to mention
the million metres of Christmas tinsel everywhere in the house!
On Saturday we had a
relaxing start to the morning with a beautiful breakfast. ‘The Beard’ went to
get supplies to make a new bird feeder.
Julia and I went out to
Lower Hutt to catch up with a friend for coffee, cake and a quick loop around
the Dowse Art Museum to look at some of the exhibitions.

| Moths |
I loved the ‘Invitation
to Openness — Substantive and Transitive States’, by Wellington sculptor
Elizabeth Thomson. It is hundreds of moths placed on the walls as if they had
just landed there. It reminded me of the many puriri moths that I would see as
a child growing up in the bush. I also really enjoyed looking at the 1970’s ‘Revolution
in Fashion’ exhibition. I found that the light reflecting on the walls from the
giant ‘translucent pyramid’ were more amazing than the pyramid itself. Also,
loved the reflections on the wall Moniek Schrijer’s 'Earth is all we know' display.

Then we went back to
Anjuli’s and did some shopping from Sweet Designs and got some beautiful
things. I bought some cute hairclips and I now have pirates, animals, crowns
and robots to go with my UNICORN clips that she gave me. If you are looking for
beautifully handmade gifts then please check out her Facebook page.
On Sunday ‘The Beard’
and I caught the last 35mins of rugby which was probably the most eventful of
the entire game. Unfortunately, one of the cats had to go to the vet as his
little face was swollen and made him look like a chipmunk. Then later on we
retired outside to watch the construction of the new bird feeder. Then a quick
visit from Julia’s brother/sister-in-law and little nephew + cake, coffee and
wine.

Lots of cat and puppy
cuddles before heading to the airport to come back to Auckland.
I really cannot believe
that it is now less than a month until Christmas.
