June 3rd to 6th - An Extended Long Holiday Weekend

We decided to make the most of a long holiday weekend and headed to our favourite beach on earth, Pukehina. The house that we had previously rented was sold earlier in the year, so it was time to spread our horizons and branch out into something new. It had to be dog friendly, have wonderful ocean views - and a dishwasher wouldn't go amiss.

I found this little beauty and after meeting the owner, it looks like this may end up being our new holiday home when we return to Pukehina

 Of course you have to celebrate a holiday at the beach, which I did on arrival

Every Morning was a frosty start

Fortunately our front deck was a sun trap, and many an hour was spent ensuring adequate levels of Vitamin D - even for Minnie

Signs of a frosty night ahead

Waking to this glorious sunrise
