Weekend Away

Hi all, how have you all been? Sorry for not posting for a few days, I have still got a cold and so have been taking it easy.

How was Fourth of July for all of my American blogging friends?? I have seen so many fabulous photos and stories of celebrations online, it seems like great fun!

I FINALLY had the last session of the root canal yesterday afternoon so when it all settles I should be fine and dandy!

The bf and I went away for the weekend. He's organised a big international conference which is happening this weekend, so it was nice to spend some time together before he's rushed off his feet! We went to a vineyard estate called Parehua and stayed in one of their 'luxury secluded cottages' - it was fabulous. We didn't do much other than watch films, drink some wine and relax as I was still quite sucky with the cold, but I DID manage to take a dip in the hot tub too! For medicinal purposes only of course!!

On the road to Martinborough..


Our cosy cottage (once the fire was on!)

I love all of the pillows and blankets!
The bf went and bought me the SAME dressing gown the following morning :D
Wine time in the hot tub!!!

VERY frosty the next morning! We don't get frost in Wellington so it was a nice change!
We cycled into town to browse the *ahem* FOUR shops!  
 What did you do this weekend?

Tonight it's my friend's birthday. She's also from the UK and so we are having a big 'expat' birthday meal to celebrate! Good times!
