Dear Tumblrs and FB pals I am in Napier New Zealand at the moment and life is revolving around family, but I am catching up with reading too and missing my not-real (as in “online”) friends.
However this is meant to be a holiday, and that means a holiday from news and obligations to blogs and social networks too. So for now I just want to share with you some pictures of this breathtakingly beautiful country (these are all by Chris Gin).
I am staying in cities but hills, sea and wild, sometimes windswept, beauty is never far away here — we do “live in” nature and identify with it, and our cities — apart from Auckland — are quite modest. I left 21 years ago in search of more noise but now love returning.
