It's Australia Day/Invasion Day/Citizen Day or whatever you want to call it here so that means a long weekend and an opportunity to catch up on some blogs and even write a post of my own. It's been a while and for some reason, Picassa has deleted all my blog pics since I synched my gmail account with my bloody Android Phone. So, here's a few pics to let you know what I've been up to since November. Although I don't think many of my former followers visit much these days.
Happy belated New Year, I have a good feeling about 2013 and wish you wealth, health and happiness.

Well that's it in a nutshell, other than I might have inadvertently become an Executive Producer of a short film. Might do a New Zealand post later.

Hello hello of course your blog is checked to see if you are going to reappear. Yay! Finally!
ReplyDeleteExecutive producer? Now what does that entail? Is money involved? Fame? Breakfast?
Your pics are a sight for sore eyes, hell. It really is nice to see you here again. I think bimbimbee is back too . The return of both of you would be good news for me :-)
Book on this end close to done. I'll be damned
Love
kj
oh wow that mirror shot is really cool...and what a place as well to spend new years....i hope you do have a great new year helen...
ReplyDeleteHello Helen, really great to see this post. The photos say it all. Your family portrait is charming as are you in your glitter state. I love photos of AU & NZ. Hope to visit sooner rather than later. Our sons are currently residing in Byron Bay & love it. We only keep up via Facebook so it's sporadic. Missing them but they are happy.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Helen! It's great to see you back in print. And I love the mirror shot!
ReplyDeleteI am insanely jealous about your trip to NZ.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Happy Australian Invasion Day!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the family pic!
ReplyDeleteYou have been to New Zealand! I would like so much to go there. Your pictures show how beautiful it is. I hope you have a great 2013. In France we don’t send many Christmas cards, but we can send New Year’s cards to the end of January – and we are still in January – so Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat mirror shot is great! I also love the look of Avalon Beach and the view from your guest room in NZ. What a fantastic sight to wake up to!
