Max woke up this morning to red, blue, yellow and green balloons tied all around his cot. This is sort of a little tradition in our household. Lots of balloons on Birthdays that is. He absolutely loved them. However, I think he loved his new car even more. And I think Harry loved it even more than Max! It's been a perfect First Birthday.

My beautiful dad.
The beach houses surrounding the house we stayed in. The agapanthus grows wild in front of these houses. I would love to see them flowering.
The gardens in this small sleepy beach side town are to-die-for.
Table set for Dad's Birthday lunch.
I spotted this cute beach shack when I was out picking flowers and loved it. In New Zealand I've noticed they paint many of their houses black and white which I love.
I had a bath in this huge clawfoot bath every day we were there. I love the little vintage butterfly prints on the wall.
When we eventually renovate the kitchen in our new house I definitely want to have a cabinet built just like this one which was in the kitchen at the beach house. It was so perfect for all the plates, platters, cups etc.
The beach in front of the house.We've just returned home from a week in New Zealand where we celebrated my father's 60th Birthday. After spending a few days in Auckland we caught a plane down to Napier and drove down to a beautiful beach house my parent's have been frequenting over the past 12 months in a sleepy beach side town in Hawkes Bay. We spent 3 days here with my parents, brothers, cousins, aunty & uncle and our grandmother. It was the most wonderful holiday with lots of laughs, lots of tears and lots of reminiscing. Mum cooked an amazing lunch for Dad on his birthday. I went down the street and picked some gorgeous roadside flowers which I arranged for the table. It was the most amazing week away from work and the craziness of life. Happy 60th Birthday Dad. You are one in a million and we all love you so much.
