Is Wellington child friendly?

15th February 2019 By Jonelle Leave a Comment

One of the questions on any parents mind has to be “is the city I’m about to move to child friendly” because living in a city that doesn’t cater for kids, must make parenting 100% harder and let’s be honest, it’s hard enough! We moved to Wellington without ever having visited it and we were…

Some of my plants got together for a little gather Some of my plants got together for a little gathering. Still don't know how I suddenly become a plant lady. But here we are. 

Feeling a little sad about the end of our time in Fortunatus Street but looking forward to our new home.
The biggest mushroom I ever did see. The biggest mushroom I ever did see.
Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on th Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on the results of my covid test while my family is camping with the neighbours. 

I don't particularly like being alone which is completely opposite to how I've been most of my life. 

Solitude was always a time to heal. To nurse my wounds. To recover from a lifetime of trauma. 

A life that from the outside was one to envy but from inside wasn't always easy. Wasn't easy at all. 

Endless pressure. 
Pressure to be everything I wasn't and everyone else's dream. 

Success. But not to me. 
And here I am. Living my dream. 
Happy. 

And strangely so uncomfortable with being on my own. 

I'd guess it's something to do with the road Solitude leads me down. 

I'm done healing. 
I'm okay now. 

Home. 
Alone. 
Drinking my beer.
Beautiful Queenstown ❤️ Beautiful Queenstown ❤️
