What an absolutely stunning summer we are enjoying here in Auckland this year! It’s hot, dry and the locals will agree that it’s not even humid!
We were lucky to spend a few glorious days at a bach on Waiheke Island. So, this was our summer – beach fossicking, swimming, stunning views, and a few motorbike rides around the winding roads!
But we are home now, and back into the DIY groove that has been off since our last big project. Of course this time of year lends itself to the outdoors, so we are tackling the backyard once again, with a pergola/playhouse in the pipeline. Pipeline – it’s a clue! Stand by…

Fond memories of school camps at Waiheke Island in the early 80’s. I haven’t been back since but know it has changed an awful lot.
Oh yes I imagine it has changed a lot! But despite the big fancy houses and wineries it still retains it’s island vibe, which is just perfect for a summer bach holiday!
