And we have been making hay while the sun shines and doing all the typical summery stuff - picnics, parties, visits to the beach, shedding those layers of clothes and jumping into the water!
We have been -
Getting summer flowers to brighten up the house. And yes, I do buy flowers for myself :)
Eating strawberries and ice cream. Yumm! Hokey Pokey is a NZ favourite
Having chaat parties with golguppas, bhel puri and tikki chaat. I used my measuring spoons to hold the accompanying stuff. Innovative, I know. The truth is "Necessity is the mother of invention" ;)
We have been running through lush green parks, which are abundant in Wellington
Jumping into the pool and sitting there for hours
Blowing bubbles in the balcony
And being very pleased about that :)
What have you been doing this summer... errr... winter?
This post is part of Day 6 of the Marathon Blogging event December 2012.
Oh NZ <3 A place where I WILL visit sometime soon. *prays to God to grant 1 month holiday from work* Happy Summer.
ReplyDeleteIt is a must visit. Beautiful in all senses and nature at its best!! :) I will pray for you too ;)
DeleteWow Simran, you have such a lovely styling eye :). Loved all the images of summer, especially while I sit here with a cold, and waiting for more of that sunlight, send some my way soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aparna!! :) It actually feels a li'l weird initially and takes some time getting used to the fact that while the rest of the world is buying winter coats, people here are shedding layers off ;)
Deletewow beautiful pics
ReplyDeleteThanks Aaron!!
Deleteohhhhh such a happy happy post! :) I love all the summery colours and activities :) esp the strawberry n ice cream part.. and that chat table looks abs yumm.
ReplyDelete:D I love summers too, in fact I have never waited for them like this. This place is very windy even when it is not cold so some really nice sunny no wind days are hard to come by. Thanks since we don't get too much of chat around, we try and do a DIY!! :)
