We're home from Whangamata. Had a few good days with wonderful ocean swimming but then a storm hit and we only just got out before slips closed the roads. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones 💔

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books.
It’s seriously what gets us through.
