Sorry I have been very distracted by trying to navigate a school community safely to the end of a challenging year - there will be hints. Stay tuned. In the meantime here’s a pic of Trev the dog!

There are lots of changes for our community coming up. I am standing for a 4th term on the Cromwell Community Board. With changes to representation, delegations and district wide funding making sure our growing and changing community has a voice is crucial.

Winter faves for dinner at the Harry house. Polpette Soup and home made ciabatta. We have the very rare moment where the gluten free bread looks better than the regular.

If you are in Central Otago and you are interested in standing in the upcoming local government elections then get along to one of these drop in sessions. There are lots of changes afoot around representation and localism so this is a really crucial election.

Yummy sushi rice bowls for dinner with pork and ginger meatballs. My jammy eggs are a bit runny but they’ll still be the best bit.

My Santa has done such an amazing job. I am blown away by the thought and care that has gone into my gift. The picture book is beautiful and complex and thought provoking. Trev loooves his treats. The chocs are works of art. Zuko will get to open his gift later. Thank you 🤩

We have a wonderful family celebration for Matariki that always includes feasting, reflecting and the outside fire roaring. Love having an AoNZ midwinter celebration.

I’ve had a quick trip to Melbourne to introduce Zuko to his great grandma. She lit up every time she saw him.
She’s aged so much since I saw her a year ago and confusion and paranoia are making her world hard to navigate.
We were glad to bring her some joy.
