A couple of weeks later and 25 degrees warmer, here I am in New Zealand, visiting family and friends. We're staying with my in-laws on a farm south of Auckland.
Lack of sleep on the plane and time difference mean we've spent the first 2 days here potting around the farm, feeding the animals and watching sheep dog work...
For someone coming from wintery Europe, this is the land of bounty, from the humble lemon to the flashy hibiscus (and no glasshouse needed).
And for a bit of uniquely kiwi fauna here is a pukeko spotted trying to steal food from the ducks this morning:
I'll add pix from NZ every couple of days; if you want to feel the warmth you know where to look...
