Torrential rain warning...


Orere Point, South Auckland - Late Winter 2015

Winter has well and truly hit us this week. Most of the North Island of NZ is under a heavy rain warning at the moment with torrential wind and rain throughout the regions. Today is my first day off this week so I"m spending it with Netflix and hibernating with a warm blanket. Today I'm watching a movie set in the Victorian era about a man born with Giantism whose brother takes in him on a tour of the world to make money and ends up finding others with the same disease. We don't have a fireplace or heater in our apartment as it really doesn't need it. It's fully insulated and we find that putting on some warm clothes is enough to get through the season.

I like how the beach and water leads your eyes towards those ominous clouds. Stay warm and dry!

We used to have a roaring fire in winter n The Puke. I remember more the brilliant frost's and then the sunny days.
Snuggle up warmly!

Super winter shot Amy, our weather sounds similar. No fire on for me yet but definitely an extra blanket!

Our sky wasn't that clear on Sunday. We picked up over 50mm of rain. Our heater was going as we have a lot of window space.
