Tauranga Fountain

I really do have a love affair with my parasols. In spring and summer – and for a good part of autumn – it’s rare to see me outdoors without one.

So when Apollo and I went on holiday at the end of February, I took three parasols with me (to suit the environment and my outfits, y’see). This particular parasol one was my newest purchase, and was a great find on TradeMe. I really like the fringing on the edges, and the way I can feel the texture of the paint on the fabric itself.

Toi Toi and Seagulls HNT

Toi toi is part of my memories. When I was a growing up we had a large hillock fronting a shared driveway, and toi toi, cutty grass, and the ubiquitous biddy-bids grew there. It was a great place to burrow into, make caves or nests or simply wriggle in and read in sunny shade. And, of course, toi toi could be pulled free and imagined into swords, flags, or whatever took my fancy.

Pastel Pink HNT

I’m generally not a fan of pink – at least, not of lots of it. But when it comes to contrast? When it comes to pale pink mixed with bright strong colours? When it comes to being über-feminine just because? Then it’s good.  Of course, it needs to be in moderation, so all the colour photographs are in click-throughs this week!

Gates of Hell HNT

Last week Apollo and I were off on a long-overdue holiday – and it was fantastic! In addition to a whole lot of relaxing (and skinny-dipping in the lake), we also did some tourist-y stuff. On Wednesday, we headed off to Hell’s Gate Thermal Park -  a geothermal area near Rotorua, which is stinky, bubbly, absolutely stunning, and perfect for perverts…

Tawharanui HNT

Tawharanui Regional Park is a gorgeous place – and has amazing beaches with lovely gentle surf. Now, I’m not big on beaches, because I burn, but armed with a trusty parasol and lots of sunblock, I don’t mind trekking out there for a few hours.

Rouge Parasol HNT

It’s the first HNT of a new year  – so of course I’m showing off a new parasol! My parasol HNT series was very popular last year, so I figured why stop a good thing?

This particular parasol was made by Djeco, a French company (they usually do children’s toys), and is made out of waxed paper. That means not only does it feel neat, but it can be used an umbrella as well as a parasol. I purchased it, new, from a place called The Garden Party on Ponsonby Road in Auckland – I spotted it in the window and had to have it!

Delurking HNT

Last week I held my second general amnesty, asking folks to delurk and say hello. Well, seventeen people got up the courage to comment and share a bit about themselves! As a thank you, each of them (and you, dear readers) get a never-before-posted image.

So very pink HNT

I thought I’d shown off all of my parasols … but when I went to check, discovered I’d missed one out! This one is a favourite of my niece’s (she loves the pink), but probably the one I take out the least, as it’s just a bit too much for me a lot of the time.

Tiny but cute HNT

Alas, these are the last of my parasol photos – but these two are so cute and teeny that I had to showcase them together! They’re not so good for keeping the sun off my head … but they’re just the right size for protecting other areas…

Frilly HNT

While I love my parasols, I don’t generally go in for frills, or for soft pastel colours – I prefer for them to be bold and brash and noticeable (much like me). That said, I have one exception! As you can see, this particular parasol is entirely different from my others. It’s lacy, frilly, pale pink, and smaller than the others. And I adore it.
