Splish Splash Splosh

| January 19, 2013

Baby cousins Imogen and Amber are having a great time playing together in New Zealand. It makes us all laugh when they’re squealing in delight and giggling at one another’s antics.

We’ve had some beautiful hot summer days so it was essential to get in the garden and fill up the paddling pool with some cool water for a splish splash splosh.

In the New Zealand you’ll find most babies and young children wear UV Protective Sun Suits.

I’ve since bought one for Imogen to help protect her skin and to minimise the amount of sun cream I need to use as a toddler who’s constantly on the go isn’t an easy target.

Hats are essential in the New Zealand summer sun. Don’t you love Imogen’s and Amber’s?

New Zealand Summer Garden

We have a small balcony in London and it’s always crammed full with plants and flowers. Here in New Zealand we’re incredibly lucky to have a large garden to spend time in and eat alfresco.

Imogen has been playing for hours in the garden and enjoys collecting rose petals, filling buckets with soil, splashing in the paddling pool, watering the plants, jumping in puddles and digging with spades.

I adore nature, it revives my soul. Come rain or shine, wind or calm, I always feel so connected to Mother Earth when I’m surrounded by her beauty and grace.

My parent’s garden is a sanctuary of peace, vibrant colour and rustic charm. They love attracting wildlife and it abounds here. Fruit trees and vegetables grow together with a garden full of flowers, trees and New Zealand natives like the Pohutukawa.

A New Zealand summer garden is somewhere I could easily spend all day with my friends and family, catching up on life and admiring nature at it’s very best.
