You can't beat Wellington on a good day

Wellington has been such a tease this summer .... sadly it has been incredibly slow to start and also doused us in January with winter storms and grey wet days. However, it has now decided to treat us to a mini heat wave with some amazing days and weeks ... long may it continue (although I do feel so sorry for the kiddies going back to school just as the 'true' summer heat arrives!).

The song ... "You can't beat Wellington on a good day" .... rings true to many Wellingtonians who have a love affair with this city of ours and you can be guaranteed to see just about everyone outside and at the beach enjoying these glorious days - we certainly don't take them for granted so make sure that we enjoy them when we can !

Perfect weather for beach days .... Shosh joined us yesterday for a picnic lunch down at the beach and we spent a few hours just sitting chatting, climbing rocks, and discovering lots of caves along the way and making up some pirate stories !

In the afternoon we met up with Ryan down at Queens Wharf and went on the paddle boats, built block towers at Te Papa and ate ice-creams.
