Here I am drinking champagne on Auckland’s harbourside to celebrate our recent wedding anniversary at the start of the holiday season.
After 10 years in New Zealand I am adapted to a summertime Christmas – and look forward to the annual events of singing with my choir at Midnight Mass and lunch next day with the extended family, then a peaceful January eating plums and figs from the garden and swimming in the sea …
Happy holidays to all my readers.
