Just wanted to share a recent photograph hinting at some of the amazing clouds and sunsets we have been having.

We head into the holidays with a lot of progress in repairs in our area from the cyclone, but still a long way to go for full recovery, what must it be like in Christchurch and Japan!

I think I’ll contact a couple of friends and invite them to guest blog.  I follow their story on facebook and check up on them there.

Busily working on some projects for next year, and looking forward to the holidays with my family.

The school year is over today and looking back I am so proud of my humble kids for their achievements with my daughter winning academic excellence champion of her whole school four years in a row, and my youngest son winning most overall improved. My eldest son won a geography award and completed a research project and wonderful presentation on the physics of guitar.

When you consider what they have been through that is pretty amazing they have kept everything up and been able to excel under adversity.

We are all looking forward to next year and what the future brings.  We dream and plan, and reflect.  Peace be with you and yours.
