Winter is nearly here again and I realize that I have been away for a whole year – apologies, my constant mind has been having inconsistencies! I have written little this year, I spent the first third of it in Australasia and it completely turned my life upside down (quite literally being down under!). I am just coming back to my senses but I am afraid my eyes are still glazed over by the sheer beauty of New Zealand and Australia. I could never do them justice in words, I hope you will enjoy the photos!
