I really enjoy these simple getaways that we’ve been doing since we arrived in New Zealand. We hire a basic bach (holiday house or weekender for the non Kiwis), with no TV or mod cons in sight. It’s always situated in a picturesque location and at times with a great view. We pass the days together ever so simply.
Hello twenty fourteen indeed! I hope that you all had a great festive season. New Years Eve was celebrated during our week away in the Tapapakanga Regional Park. Guillaume and I put the children to bed, popped open a bottle of champagne and sat outside under the perfect clear night sky looking at the bright stars with the moon just the tiniest of a slither. I saw two shooting stars that night, the first that I’ve seen since I was living in Greece so many years ago. Kind of a perfect sign for the new year don’t you think?

Dear friends,
Before I sign off for a couple of weeks, I wanted to thank you all so much for your support this past year. Thanks to all of the comments, the tweets, the retweets, the facebooking, instagraming, the pinning and most of all, for being here to read my little take on both the beautiful and the delicious. A special thank you to the lovely friends who took time out to be a guest in one of my regular features, My Space, On The Wall, 5 Decorating Questions and 5 Food Questions. You all rock and each of you are such a source of inspiration!
If you love a bit of DIY then you’re going to love Mette from Monsters Circus! Since discovering her blog a little over six months ago, I’m in constant awe of the stunning and very simple DIY creations that Mette comes up with. They’re always in trend, usually with that pared back Danish look and all are esthetically beautiful images that are very pin worthy. Today, I’m so pleased to have Mette sharing her workspace with us for the My Space regular feature.
