Holiday Time

Last week we had a wonderful holiday in Greymouth.

This has been our favourite holiday destination for over twenty years. Coming in a close second is the Coromandel but that’s another story.

The journey from Roxburgh takes in the most breathtaking views of the ocean and the bush as you travel over the Haast and up the West Coast to Greymouth.

This was our first serious break since we lost Alex as we couldn’t get our heads around a trip without him last Winter.

Whilst it is still very difficult without him, time has made the grief not so raw.

Here are a few holiday photos.
