Sights of Summer

As winter gave way at the end of 2018 in New Zealand, the sunshine tried to open up and eventually brought on lovely flowers, birds and landscapes to enjoy. Below are a few of those moments, from visits down memory lanes, remembering those who we’ve lost and spending time with those we love and care about.
