Normal service will be resumed in the New Year – Merry Christmas!

Another very busy week this week – two significant birthdays (mine included a zero in it, and fourth-born reached a significant milestone too), lots of end of year stuff, more other stuff (which was quite stressful), Kim had lots on as she finished up work to start a new job in the new year, and the kids finished school mid-day Thursday.

So now, for the next 10 days or so, they’ll be a brief blog interlude while we all enjoy a break from work, school, kindy and various commitments and spend some time with each other and our wider families.

This year the Pohutukawa trees all seem to be in fine form – even the little ones that were planted this year on the road side by the local school. The colour is refreshing at this busy time.

Have a good Christmas everyone.
