This is just Jack and I hanging, playing some music on the old gramophone. It’s cool, you just have to keep winding the handle heaps.

Fun at Lake Hood!

We took Richard and Amy to Lake Hood for a play on the boats. Had a great time until the exhaust fell off one of the Kayaks! Better fix that this weekend!

A day on the Opihi Gorge

Just a nice photo of the Opihi Gorge. I went flyfishing with Stu Clark for the day. Saw a few trout, caught none, but had a great day!

Awesome Christmas Lunch at the Viv’s

We had Christmas lunch at the Viv’s this year. Was a great time, good company, good food and the kids had a blast! Here’s Jack showing Ella how to use the Slip-n-Slide!

Ella riding her new purple bike! I think she really likes it. Shouldn’t take too long to get the hang of it.

A great day flyfishing on the Opihi river!

I spent Friday fishing the Opihi river with Karl, an industry mate and another creative. Was a great day, we saw a large number of fish. Karl landed a few and I had plenty chase the fly. The water was crystal clear and very little wind. I need to do this more often!

The kids take a break!

As a parent, this has to be the best – seeing kids sleeping! This is Jack taking a nap with mum and Devoe (his cousin) out like a light.
