Grab it while you can.....

Wellingtonians, grab the last days of summer while it's here!  The days are getting shorter, the weather's getting colder (yep, it did get warm there for a time), and the colder months are on their way.  The good thing, of course, is that this is the time of year when you get to greet winter wardrobe staples like old friends.....

Hah! - what am I talking about!  Get out the bathing suit*, get to the beach, and grab that sunshine.......while you still can.  And, if you choose to brave the waters .....weeeeeeeeell.....I'll be the one cheering you on from the warmth of dry land  ;-) !

*  I am loving lowcut swimsuits - I think they have the great benefit of making everyone who dons one suddenly appear as though they are a 50's pin-up, with the womanly curves that are so attractive in real life!  

Autumnal thoughts...

One of the great things about Autumn has to be that the fabulous overcoats can come out of the back of the wardrobe where they have patiently waited out the summer months......  Everyone looks great in a coat - particularly the men!

Walking in the rain...

The city has two faces on a rainy day.  There's the one you dream of - walking through green undergrowth, lush and sweetly scented.

Marching along to the sound of the rain on your umbrella (whilst trying your hardest to avoid taking out the eyes of all those who pass you.  Umbrella etiquette - it's a tricky one!)

And then - there's the reality.....

Sitting in traffic..............for hours!

But the rain is wonderful for one reason above all others:  it gives me a legitimate excuse to bring out the Wellies!!
