Anything Like Her
City Girl


And I wish
that I was anything like her.

​Tunnel
The Bronze Medal


Take me inside my head is spinning
you ripped my shirt and spilled my tea
your freshly cleaned bedroom linens,
you picked up the pile and threw em right at me
you wanted to know...

I don't think you're feeling rested.

​Dynamite.
Asta.


Been taking my time not thinking about you
Just walking my mind, walking my mind
​
Yeah, I could call but I know I don't have to
'Cause I'm doing alright, feeling alright

Can't Wait.
Millic.



Ocean's clear
No more mirror
Feel inside
Million butterflies
Under daylight

I can’t wait till you come over, ah



​

Give it All.
Foals.


Give me something I haven't seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all
I called you up
Three times last night
Running through the streets
Bloody, from a fist fight
Keep you warm
Keep you there
Wanna keep you all

​

Cool.
Troye Sivan.


but nothing is feeling right
I drink but I choke
I love but I don't

I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you

​My lovely husband and I got married 7 years ago this week! 

To celebrate I've posted some pictures of our wedding on Lord Howe Island, which is NSW, Australia.

We went by ourselves and had a really lovely time. 

On my second trip to NZ I heard this fascinating true story, while travelling through the northern regions of the Auckland area.
Back in the day, there was a group of German people experiencing persecution in their home country due to their religion, and many of these people were forced to leave home and travel to far off countries like Australia and New Zealand.
 
This particular group travelled across Europe to get away (which took approx. a full year) to then board a boat headed for the wild unknown of New Zealand (this journey took another year!).
When they arrive into Auckland, they have been assigned some land to the north to start their new settlement and community. But little do they know, this area is a total forest with nothing cleared. Also, they have been sold this land by the original owners, a Maori clan with enemies to the north, who are hoping this new European community (with their weapons etc.) will help them protect their territories.
​So this group of European men, women and children, who have travelled across the whole world into a total unknown on a one way ticket, are picked up in the Auckland port by Maori warriors on canoes, and brought upstream to their new home.
 
I always imagine that trip.
What would that have felt like for those displaced people?
Unfamiliar terrain, an unknown future, and being canoed to their inhospitable new home by Maori warriors.
History is filled with interesting and strange stories, and I like to sometimes sit down and think about them. ​
