What wonderful postcards "from the edge of the world". A beautiful place. I'm so glad you were able to travel there and spend time with your daughter, son in law, and adorable Princess Tilly!
Lovely images from New Zealand - I went once, as a teenager with my parents - but it was a chilly August. Thank you for sharing these glimpsed of your journey. God bless you all.
Susan, yes it would be chilly in August. It's winter there then. It was nice leaving our February winter for their February summer, but quite a shock to come back.
man. I wish I could have made it to the airport. I mean, look at you with your toe ring! :) It looks like a ridiculous amount of fun, and I especially love the smushy baby kissing pics.
JoAnn, my daughter-in-law Michelle gave me that toe ring when she got engaged to my son Alex. It matches hers. I haven't taken it off since. Sorry we missed each other at the airport. xx
awww, these photos made me weepy... so much love in them. i especially love that photo of rhys and joy kissing their little princess. and you look so uber-adorable in your jean skirt and red sweater... and bronwyn is simply gorgeous... i hope she realizes this.
I want to go there! And I don't even especially like Hobbits! I, too, love the smushy kissing baby pictures. And I'm a huge fan of the toe ring. Toe ring = beach to my way of thinking. And I love few things more than the beach.
What a wonderful trip and to be able to spend time with your family....These photographs are wonderful and show us what a beautiful place New Zealand is...I've never been but I would love to go someday.....

ReplyDeleteI love....
ReplyDeleteThe coffee with the beautiful design in the cream
You in front of that cosy looking bookshop
The grey day when the plane lands
The magical looking door leading into greenery that seems like it's so Tolkien or C.S. Lewis
The title "Postcards from the Edge of the World"
The fact that you got to hold Tilly
So, basically everything :)
