Queenstown

I'm pretty late with posting these, but I went to Queenstown at Easter time – back on the other side of Winter, when it was all beautiful and Autumny.

So… Queenstown is stunning. No matter how many times I visit, and I've spent a lot of time there, it still takes my breath away. It's my favourite place in the world, or maybe a close second to Arrowtown.

We ate at this Boathouse and then fed the ducks by the lake.

It's Super Oscar! My Godson, and Ray's comedy hero.

It's The Lady of the Lake.

The view from where we stayed. Ah-mazing.

I forget what this place was called but we stopped here for some good eats on the way out of town.

Aw, Ray has grown so much since this pic! Not sure what's going on behind the tree (twerking?)

Classic Queenst.

Want to feast your eyes on more New Zealand goodness from Queenstown and surrounds? Here are some blog posts I've enjoyed in the past year:

Cute Stuff #6

Some new cute stuff I've been into lately.

The Seychelles dress by Twenty-seven Names …

and these similar dresses from Obus. What a rad summer uniform they would make.

This happy pillow from Gorman's Home Time range.

It's much too early to be talking about 2015 calendars, I know, but the Ask Alice Annual Charity Calendar is available for pre-order, and it's a beauty.

Hungry for That. I wish I could dive right into that bottom photo, mouth first.

I have been really into the new Jamie Oliver series, Comfort Food. That's him and Caitlin Moran ogling his toasted cheese sandwich, above, which was an amazing episode. The series, and cookbook is all about taking retro, run of the mill dishes and making them spectacularly, over the top. That cheese sandwich was so impressive.
