A Village Life: September 2013
http://avillagelifenz.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Here is the house we are staying in now; wicked views:. Looking back over the fence to our place. Each person gets a pile of clothes. The girls get the bunk room. And the garden at home grows. Rosemary, sage and thyme. Cavolo nero, broad beans and potatoes. We will be able to pick our figs from the deck! Playhouse is not too dirty at the moment, not too sure about having the bike inside. Someone is trying to kill my flowers. Links to this post. Saturday, September 21, 2013.

A Village Life: A Taste of Kiwi Summer
http://avillagelifenz.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-taste-of-kiwi-summer.html
Thursday, January 9, 2014. A Taste of Kiwi Summer. The pontoon at Matheson. Collecting mussels at Pakiri. Gorgeous evening watching the kids at Pakiri. Hours of fun in the pools. The Christmas Eve exchange with Santa and the fire brigade; lollies for beer. All ready for a visit from Santa. Testing out the new scooter! A birthday cake fit for a 7 year old queen; the jelly filled swimming pool meringue cake? Birthday paddle boarding at Lang's. Delicious vineyard platter at Ransom. This one's for you Jordan!

A Village Life: May 2014

Monday, May 12, 2014. A Blurry Review of the Night. The scene was set beautifully, candles and flowers everywhere. The cocktail recipes for the night were well utilized of course! The Great Gatsby and French 75 were my favorite. First arrival, still looking pretty fresh and sober. Most authentic looking of the evening goes to.Tangiwai! Good conversation flowing and drinks in hand. Peter Crabb in red. Ooh la la Liz. Food still looking a plenty at this stage. What's up with the daggers; smile Helena? In pr...

A Village Life: March 2013

Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Leprechauns and Little People. Wearing green and drinking an assortment of Irish stout, whiskey and baileys we enjoyed the first of hopefully many to come Leigh village St. Patrick's Day annual celebration dinners! Of course because of all the action and little people running around that we had to tend to, the camera was shelved and completely forgotten about. The food photos were taken the next day with the leftovers! Links to this post. Monday, March 18, 2013. Links to this post.

A Village Life: Ta Da!!!!
http://avillagelifenz.blogspot.com/2013/12/ta-da.html
Friday, December 13, 2013. Ok, so I haven't staged anything and it doesn't look exactly perfect. Some furniture is out of place where we need to paint behind it and there are groceries and laundry sitting in the corners of the room but for the most part our house is finally finished (almost). Does any home project ever get completely finished? Handmade knife magnet courtesy of Peter. Love my open shelving. We can open up the windows all the way and practically feel like we are on the deck. Space, at last.

Saturday, December 1, 2012. Entry Hall before with pale yellow walls. Stairwell in white with lots of little kid finger prints. Lots of butter yellow wall space to be covered. Looking up from stairwell (handmade glass sconce courtesy of sarah saso). Awesome bright orange handrail with dirt hiding brown walls.
