Swimming at the Blue Baths

Early morning story time before heading out....


With the sun shining we all went for a swim at our local Blue Baths.


Blue Baths is a heritage listed Bathhouse located in Government Gardens, Rotorua. Originally opened in 1933, the art deco Blue Baths daringly offered mixed sex bathing for the first time in New Zealand

Fun Day at Rainbow Springs

Welcome to Sophie, Matt and Jake

So wonderful to have you with us.

Our Little Maori

With the help of my eye-liner, Mya tried to do some Maori tattooing whilst my back was turned. This was just after escaping from her cot whilst still in her sleep sack, all before 7am. A great start to the day!

Mya just luuuurves her Mummy's freshly made bread

Rainbow Springs

Whilst waiting for the car to be serviced, we had the morning down at Rainbow Springs. Lots of fun in the playground and then Jenni & Imogen and Mya & I went down the Big Splash.


Mya took it all in her stride, not sure if she even took her thumb out whilst going down the big drop. Great morning with great friends.

Birthday Fun

Another year older and starting to loose count.

Had a lovely time with friends and family dog walking and coffee and cake at a local cafe.


In the evening John took me out for a lovely meal at the Regent Hotel, very yummy, all helped down with cocktail and wine!
