Bonjour d'Auckland...

For me you do not get much more kiwi than this, say hello or bonjour if you prefer, to the lovely pohutukawa tree.

It is referred to as the New Zealand Christmas tree as it normally flowers around Christmas time but my sister informs me that it is late flowering this year so lucky us.

The weather here is fabulous and just as I remembered. There is nothing quite like a kiwi summer and it is like everyone is busy doing something.

Speaking of which I am about to drag French Boyfriend out for a walk along the beach before dinner...

Hope that you are having a fabulous week-end where ever you are in the world, Leeann x
