Pushing myself out of my comfort zone lately and loving every single minute of it! Swimming this late in autumn is new for me, but I’ve never felt more alive and positively giddy (I can’t believe I’m using the word giddy, and yet I am because somehow it just fits 🤷🏼♀️) with unabashed delight than I did yesterday out in the surf waves at Waihi Beach. Writing wise, I’m still working on the new book but progress has been slow (well, slow for me). I’ve had to work through some things and remind myself that ultimately, I write for me. Because I love it. Because I can’t NOT write. But I also write because I have stories I want to tell, and incredible characters I long to create and share with you guys. The fact that so many of you love my books is the icing on the cake. A bonus. A happy, wonderful bonus that I’m incredibly grateful for. Thanks for sticking with me while I worked through some stuff and set myself some goals and intentions regarding what I want from my writing and how I see my future ❤️ The kids are back to school tomorrow (2 out of 3 are anyway, one is sick. Sigh.) So I will be cracking on with the new book with renewed vigour. Hope you’re all well xx
How true is that a car gives you freedom! 🚐 One of the most beautiful sunsets on a random beach, while finishing off my cold gyros wrap that’s spicy af 😅🌶️ 🇳🇿 #epicsunsets #nzsunset #sunsetvibes #gyroswithview #nzbeaches #casualsunday #roadtrip

So we have been spending some time by the beach. So here's a selection of beach shots and flatlays of our finds. The mussel really was green. #beachcomber #nzbeaches #beachesnz

I truly loved creating this print. It evoked so many memories of happy times spent rock hopping and exploring coastlines on foot. Old boatsheds have a very particular fragrance I think - Possibly emanating from a combination of dried seaweed, outboard motor oil and decaying deck chairs. I swear I could breathe it all in as I created this artwork. "The Boatshed" Linocut Hand-Pulled on A4 sized Cotton Rag Paper Edition of 10

Can you beat the beach for outdoor play? North Beach and Waimairi beach… well any beach! Have so much good stuff for kids to get stuck into. You don’t need to take a thing and kids find stuff to do… but we do love a good beach trip with a shovel! Do you take any toys or tools to the beach or leave it to the natural playground? 🍃beach huts - always exisiting ones or make your own! 🍃driftwood and sticks galore 🍃shells 🍃that popping seaweed - little one loves it 🍃sand dunes 🍃water and sand… obviously 😂

I was out beach foraging a few days ago in Hawkes Bay and came across this beauty... an intact paper Nautilus shell. After a bit of research, I found that these are discarded from the female Arganaut, a type of octopus, who create them to house and nurture their eggs.. how incredible! Once discarded, they float on the ocean until they wash ashore, usually smashed into pieces by the waves and rocks, so it's quite rare to find one intact. Feeling blessed.. how special! 🙏

Lachie, a seven year old crayfish hunter. We met on the beach today when he was chasing around a girl with this dead crayfish. What a charmer. ☺️🦞
