Happy birthday Nisha! 🎂 💖 Four wonderful days in Queenstown. Mountains, lakes, vineyards, autumn colours, good food, good wine, plenty of walking, and more ice cream than we probably needed. A perfect little getaway. ❤️ My sourdough bread — fresh, crusty, and topped with sesame seeds 🍞 Pistachio and White Chocolate Loaf Cake! Happy Easter 🐣 I've been making these cute bunny-shaped sugar cookies for Easter 🐰💛 A relaxed weekend away in Wellington City. Beautiful sunny weather, good food, and time spent wandering the waterfront and streets. ☀️ Janet goes to see Janet at the Civic Theatre… and, dammit Janet, it was fabulous! Surrounded by beautiful women and beautiful flowers — the perfect way to spend a long lunch. 🌺🥂
