Hi Everyone,
It’s that time again, where neighbourhoods across New Zealand are no longer a quiet haven during the week. There is perhaps less routine, just the freedom for creative pursuits and play.

Some folk execute it with words, that come alive the moment you turn that first page of their book.
While others share it via sound effects to make you gasp in delight as you wait for their next slice of dialogue.
More than a few express it by capturing a moment in time with the click of a shutter.
They are a visual storyteller.
Memories of Days gone by.

Beautiful memories. As we travel constantly and live on the road, Mark and I are happy school is back in session and the destinations are not so crowded anymore. We have learned to deal with weekends, though. 🙂
Have a happy spring and summer down there!

Hi Donna, it is busy around the place. More noticeable in the supermarket is the “annoyed” voices of mothers telling their children off for one thing or another. On a positive note there are the ones taking them outdoors with less annoyed voices 🙂

It’s only a few years since the rhythm of my life was determined by the school year, but these days I’m only aware of kids being on holiday if I head out between 3 and 4pm and there ISN’T a huge traffic jam on the main road.

Yes, we did live in an era of reasonably carefree days. Though there was never a shortage of chores to do 🙂
