Masculine winter...

 

This space makes me want to start up that fire and pour a glass of wine.  I love that it has an air of mystery, what is up above?  How tall are the ceilings really?  It is pretty amazing!

Has fall turned cold finally for you?  We are finally starting to feel it here in California and I am glad for the change.

Whare Kea Chalet in Vogue Living

The Whare Kea Chalet in the Southern Alps.

 

 

This is Whare Kea Chalet, found high in the Southern Alps and accessible by a 20 minutes helicopter ride from Wanaka. Connected to Whare Kea Lodge, this chalet is used as a winter base for heliskiing daytrips and for overnight stays in the summer. Vogue Living has highlighted this chalet's use as an artist residence - imagine staying here for 10 days to be inspired by the remote location and its dramatic surroundings? Stunning. Read more about it here.

Snow in Wellington and at 292.

Earlier today - Snowdrop flowers surrounded by snow at the Minty's HQ.



Snow flurries at 292 - has been like this for most of the day.

Wellington has been having a unusual winter - first it was so mild, we got excited about an early Spring. However, Mother Nature surprised us with once in a lifetime 'polar blast' that we have not seen in Wellington for a long time, if ever. For those who don't know Wellington (or New Zealand) very well, we just don't get snow here, just the rare dusting on the hills every few decades. How today has changed that...
