Wellington Weekend part 1

The biggest sporting party in New Zealand has sadly been and gone but what a fantastic time was had.

My first time at the famous Wellington Sevens exceeded all my expectations and i can honestly say i havent had such an amazing weekend for the longest time.

We spent the entire time staying at my best friend Antonia's house as she recently relocated from Christchurch to Wellington and it certainly was nice having our entire group staying at the same place. Felt a bit like summer camp with people everywhere and the early morning starts followed by endless amounts of laughter.

On Thursday Thomas and I made our way into town to meet up with Antz's boyfriend James, his friends and my mum who were all in town to watch the Sevens welcoming parade through the Wellington CBD.

From the minute we made our way into the city, there was the most unbelieveable buzz around the place. The stunning weather for the entire week most certainly helped but it was almost indescribable. We spent the afternoon doing a mini pub crawl soaking all the atmosphere up and sampling some wonderful hearty meals.

As you can see from these pictures its honestly the biggest costume party you can imagine and every single person i met during the event was honestly having just as good a time as me.

It is something i would recommend to anyone who enjoys not just rugby or rugby sevens but just a great sporting spectacle.

As an avid sporting fan i loved seing our NZ boys play live. We have always had a strong and proud history in the game of sevens but even though our boys couldn't win the title i still had a fantastic time.

I havent come down since. In fact work this week was quite depressing at times. Planning and brainstorming costumes for next year

I will bring you part 2 of my fantastic trip in my next post.

Enjoy the end of your weekend. Not enjoying the fact that the nights are slowly getting darker earlier.. Wish summer was all year round.

Monday Happiness

The beginning of another week has rolled around and only have today and tomorrow at work has certainly brightened my mood. I have spent a few hours brainstorming about anything and everything courtesy of Pinterest which is slowly becoming more than an obsession.

I have been making lists from new recipes to try, music to download, books to read and add to my collection and of course my suitcase list for my trip to Wellington on Wednesday this week.

It always helps to have my lists written down and I must admit I have been doing it since I was little. There is a certainly a method to the madness.

Countdown is on until the Sevens. Haven't been this excited for a very long time.

Hope your enjoying the start of your week.
Who can't quite believe January is nearly finished!
