Kia Ora!

I’m writing to you today from the land of the long white cloud…New Zealand! 

We flew into Queenstown on Wednesday between the snowcapped mountains and instantly felt transported into another world. The girls faces as we landed and their multiple exclamations of “oh my goooooosssshhhh” was something I hope to remember forever. There’s nothing like a kids excitement at seeing something for the first time to remind you how lucky you are.

Mum, Dad and Joey fly in today too! They’ll join us in Wanaka for a healthy dose of skiing, eating and hiking. It’s the perfect holiday full of adventure, downtime and plenty of good food.

Speaking of, if you’ve not been to Wanaka before I’ll pop a little guide together. When Josh and I came here last year we felt like we’d stepped into a movie set. It feels magical being surrounded by so much natural beauty and we’re spoilt to have Josh’s Brother and his family here to show us the secret local sites.

Now let’s get into Issue #86 of The List! Today I’m sharing:

  • A quote about travel that I find inspiring

  • A book I mentioned way back in Issue #73

  • A new cardigan in the colour of the season

  • And the recipe you asked for… Dad’s Homemade Crumpets! And there’s two versions - traditional and sourdough. Heaven.

I hope you have the happiest Friday and love today’s issue of The List!
