where have you been!?

So I've taken a while to catch up. But seriously, I needed a break to get over the holidays. Washing, tidying, rubbish days, packing camping gear away, visiting people you missed over Christmas, trying to catch up on other blogs, printing photos for Granny, updating FaceBook, replying to missed texts and calls when you're out of reception areas, realising your cupboards and fridge are bare and you need to face the super-busy supermarket......AARRGGHH!!!

Here's a few shots from our camping holiday up North in the sun soaked Parua Bay in Whangarei Heads.

The surroundings at Limestone Island. A kiwi sanctuary that used to be a concrete factory back in the old days.

All that is left is creepy, eerie broken buildings that were once bustling with industry.

Steps to nowhere.

Hello sheepies! They just roamed free on the island and left lovely trails of sheep droppings.

This is a beach about 20 minutes out of Parua Bay. I think it was McGregor or McIvor....MacGuyver? :-) Anyway, it was 'Mc-Something' and it was McAwesome.

Went snorkelling around the rocks on the right....not as good as the snorkel at Oceans Beach but saw some fish, happy camper.

Trying to catch this rainbow around the sun....it was the strangest and beautiful thing. Got a cobbie-web too!

Our little bundle of joy. Everyone, meet Miss Pixie-Lou Twiglet. Stretching out in luxury on our host's bed. Yes, she is so talented she reads books. Jokes. Doesn't everybody think their baby is just the most talented being alive?
