France vs. UK: Foody edition!
Bonsoir tout le monde! France and Britain, two of my favourite countries ever. Neighbouring countries yet so very different, so one day I decided to compile a list of their differences. But where to start? Let’s say, the best thing in life, the most photographed thing in life, ie., FOOD. (&drink) Some examples […]
Mallorca Day 4: The end of the effervescent holiday
19.08.2014 Unfortunately just a quickie this time round to wrap up our Mallorca-weekend… Some people decide to get a tattoo as a permanent memory. I personally think that very old school, so I opted for a scar. Well, didn’t really opt, but I started the morning falling down the stairs to the pool. Exciting. […]
Mallorca Day 3: Stodgy Spanish omelette and friends
18.08.2014 Yesterday was beach-day, today was shopping-day. Five years ago we discovered, by accident again, our new favourite clothes shop Blanco – basically a more colourful Spanish H&M. Then, H bought a pair of red boots for ten or twenty euros, and I bought a pair of yellow ones, and here was the result. The […]
Mallorca Day 2: Illetes, mistranslations and pelican-cocktails!
17.08.2014 Today was the day for ILLETES 🙂 Tell you about Illetes? Ok.“Mainly frequented by independent travellers, part of its charm lies in the fact that it is largely undiscovered by package tourists. Mainly populated by 4* hotels, holidays are not a cheap option here and will appeal in the main to professional couples […]
The Real Spain-Holiday Sequel: Mallorca Day 1
Intoxicated and far too numerous English and German tourists fighting over who can first reserve the hotel beach loungers with their beach towels. That is Palma de Mallorca according to the most recent news article I read. On a happier note, it was also the destination for me and two of besties, H and H-le, […]

KIA ORA FANS Today is the 131st day anniversary (daiversary?) of me leaving NZ.

As I […]

Christmas and New Year in Kiwiland!
Happy 2014!! Our ‘proper’ Christmas celebration was on the 28th with CC’s family and 30-odd relatives. A full, hectic day (we did Sheepworld in the morning, got home, and the first visitors came within ten minutes of getting back – we were held up due to a traffic accident – saw my first ever rescue […]
SHEEPWORLD
Baaaaaaaa, Welcome to Christmas Part 2. And Sheepworld. Especially Sheepworld. Because I LOVED Sheepworld. (Edit: Or, actually JUST Sheepworld. It seemed to need its whole own entry. :P) Yesterday morning (the 28th) CC and I drove to Sheepworld, 20mins away from Wellsford. Sheepworld is… a world of sheep. And of many other farm animals, who […]
