I am here now. Napier. New Zealand. 
We are there now. It is spring.
The festivities have begun. 
I am up too early as usual. In a moment I will pull a few more clothes on and go for a walk up the beach – today we have the wedding rehearsal.
But for the moment: here is my view from the bedroom window, as I write in the New Zealand dawn. 
I hear that all is well back on the farm. Now that I have surfaced I am sure we will get a bit more news from there soon.

Oh my goodness! What a view. Gorgeous. Happy rehearsal. 🙂
Ooooh, so gorgeous, Celi! Soak up every minute of the beauty and the fun!
Hooray!!! What a beautiful view you have to greet you each day. I so miss the ocean, too.
Wonderful view to wake up to. Enjoy and have fun!
Enjoy your walk. I have a nice warm jersey for you to wear! Its Finished
You lucky, lucky thing! Have a wonderful time and soak up lots of sun and sea breezes. I am sure it will be a whirl of ‘happinings’ from here on out, don’t forget to breathe!
Welcome home. You brought the sunshine with you.
Yay!
Beautiful. I have missing our morning visits. Enjoy your walk and rehearsal.
So very glad you arrived safely! How beautiful New Zealand is! Have a wonderful, fabulous time.
Hey Celi .. Best of luck with those rehearsals. It must be so nice being home. Napier is such a pretty spot!
What a great view you have! We have had some rain here the last couple of days but the sun is shining right now and the temp is 57. Cool but nice. Looks like showers the first of the week though. Glad you made it ok! Kick back now and enjoy yourself.
Sending you lots of love.

Oooooh, Cecilia, I was getting more and more worried. But all is well, I see. Beautiful place. Enjoy your mother-of-the-groom status!
Those pictures are so beautiful. It seems like another planet there.
