…..over the summer…..well for two glorious weeks of it…. we hired an “old school” retro batch up the coast in raglan……and to cut a very long story short we fell head over heels in love with the place…….the batch was just one room in its entirety with the exception of a small shower room…..it was surrounded by native bush, and had a deck out front that I am sure wouldn’t have met very many modern building regulations…..but boy oh boy was it just a little slice of paradise….there was no tv, no radio, it was hot, muggy, lazy and just wonderful…….and in the early evenings we blew bubbles…..lots and lots and lots of bubbles….and now its the middle of winter and i love winter…sometimes…..and i am dreaming of that beautiful little batch, bubbles, fresh watermelon, raglan beaches all wild and windswept and long hot lazy days…..
