is paved with good intentions
My daughter did the ‘Great Te Atatu Mud Run’ on Sunday morning. She signed up to do the long run (1km), although this was supposed to be for people aged 16+ and she’s only 12, as she was doing it with two family friends of ours. We watched some people do shorter runs, and it…

When we got together in January for our failed attempt at making cheddar cheese, my mother and mother-in-law decided they wanted to have a creative day once a month. We plotted out some ideas.

As promised, photos from the Auckland Anniversary Day celebrations, which was Monday 29 January. Auckland Anniversary Day is a public holiday in Auckland, New Zealand. The whole long weekend (because the holiday is Mondayised) is a celebration of Auckland, and that usually means a pretty heavy focus on the harbour. After all, Auckland is ‘the…
This was a paranormal m/m romance. To explain the plot, I first have to explain the different species in this world. And the first of the two things that annoyed me about the book. But bear with me, it’s not all bad. Humans used to exist in this world, but don’t anymore. Now there are…
