New Zealand
In early February, Megan flew back to Aotearoa for her sister Anna's wedding to Guy. Megan had three weeks back in New Zealand, as she was sole bridesmaid for the wedding and needed to assist with preparations and also because she wanted to have some time off and enjoy the Kiwi sunshine. Tim made a flying visit for three days to attend the wedding and see his family before heading straight back to London.
The wedding took place on the day of romance, February 14th, at Te Awa winery in Hawke's Bay. The winery made for a beautiful venue as Anna and Guy were married outdoors amongst the vines. The bride was stunning and Guy had a nice suit. Everything went according to plan, we had a fantastic time and it was wonderful to share the special day with two people so dear to us.
The day after the wedding, Tim flew down to Christchurch to spend the day with his family, who had descended on the Garden City from the far corners of Middle Earth. It was wonderful to have the whole family in one place and we had a lovely day, including a fantastic dinner at the Curator's House. It was also an opportunity to toast Tim and Megan's recent engagement - Tim's family were all gutted that Megan couldn't join us for the day.
Once Tim had departed, Megan enjoyed a further two weeks of (mainly) sunshine in Hawke's Bay, catching up Margaret and Tony and Jackie and Simon. It was wonderful to see they had settled so well in Hawke's Bay and we hope to see Margaret and Tony in the UK later this year.
At the end of February, Megan returned to a slightly less grey and cold London than the one she had left, with a suitcase full of NZ goodies that you just can't get in the UK...including NZ Cadbury chocolates and Easter Eggs!
