The Hobbit, The Prince & I...

Hey blog buddies! 
These last few weeks have been super busy.  Lets see if I can break it down for you...
 
I met a Prince! In fact I met THE Prince... Prince Charles to be precise.  I even shook his hand and wished him a happy birthday.  Now, remember here where I said I'm not really a royalist?  Well I maintain that I'm not, like, I totally don't collect royal memorabilia and all that, but its not everyday you get to meet a prince let alone shake his hand... and jeepers it was an exciting experience...
 


I have two wonderful new friends from work, Lanz and Oti and it was Oti's idea to go down to where Charles & Camilla were walking along the beautiful Wellington waterfront during lunch. 
 
 
 
 We were extremely lucky to get front row spots and it was a definite "Woohoo" moment after we all shook his hand... in fact we were doing Hi-5's with our Prince Charles hand all the way back to the office...
 
The weather was stunning, showing the waterfront at its most beautiful...
 




 
So... there are perks to working in the city... tomorrow is the world premiere of The Hobbit! Woohoo! the city is totally buzzing with Hobbit excitement, I'm hoping I can pop down town at lunchtime to take in some of that excitement... and who knows maybe I'll spot another famous person for you...




 
 
Bye for now

Once upon a time... A true story...

So...
 
once upon a time...
 
 
...there was an excited young mumma who, wide-eyed and wondrous, would traipse through the beautiful and inspiring blogs that filled the technological-modern-day-miracle known as the world wide web. 
 
As she visually feasted on the gorgeous vintage blogs and laughed at the humorous mummy blogs she pursed her lips and squinted her eyes and thought with a "hmmmmm"... "I can do this..." So in a curious and spontaneous manner, she decided that yes indeed she would start a blog "my very own little slice of the world wide web" she mused...
 
It began as a hobby, a place to record the weekly In's and outs of the adventure known as life.  Then it grew slowly, so so slowly, and it became an outlet for her creativity, her photography and her beloved thrift-shop finds.  She made wonderful new friends from all over the world and reconnected with old ones in this very town...
 
Then one day she got a new job...
 
...a job that was a located in a far away land called the City of Wellington.  She planned to buy an ipad and blog while she commuted between the green pastures of her rural hometown to the urban concrete jungle of the city, but alas, this is not yet to be...
 
So as she settles into the corporate world of high rises, busy buses and crammed lunchtime streets, and as she arrives home, just in time to spend that last hour or so of the day with her precious children and her spunky husband, she thinks about her little slice of the world wide web and misses it...
 
"There must be a way that I can visit here more regularly". she thinks as she prepares her tired imagination to fall into the unconsciousness of sleep... "I will find a way" she promises herself and she inhales deeply...  "but not tonight" she exhales with a sigh. 
 
Her eyes fast close and she drifts into the dreamy delights of beauty and peace.  The cosy, warm snuggles of sleep arrive and then she is gone, having surrendered to the end of another day.
