What a weekend it was ! I flew to Auckland early on Friday morning (3.30am pick up) and arrived there mid-afternoon in time to attend the opening event in the evening. A full day on Saturday, dinner Saturday night and another full day and presenting on Sunday followed by another early start 3.45am at the airport, and I was back in Maleny for a mid-Monday-morning cup of coffee with Barry! Phew.
It can only be described as a weekend of wonder - and my brain was fizzing with ideas and thoughts and interest afterwards. It may take some time to process it all, but there will things that grow because of it.
Huge thanks and gratitude to ABCNZ Inc for hosting such a great event.
Some images from my time away.
Flying on a sunny day is so lovely.

Catching up with so many good people and friends was great.
The amazing Kim Herringe.
Caren Florance aka Ampersand Duck
Kim, Michelle Vandermeer of Shelbyville Bookbinding and me!
The calm before the storm so to speak... the room filling in advance of my talk.

And Monday evening, to celebrate, we sat on the deck at sunset and raised a glass...
Brava! ... and I love the mental image conjured by your "brain fizzing with ideas"
ReplyDeleteIt was such a brain fizz Liz! A really good time and so invigorating and energising.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful experience - so glad it was a success> And that sky from the plane is amazing, such beautiful light and shadows.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really busy time Jillayne, but such a good one. I am still reflecting and pondering, and already putting into practice a couple of the learnings... I love having the chance to look out a plane window, high above everything the 'landscape' skyscape is so wonderfully upending
DeleteWell done, Fiona and all! The cloud photo is fantastic.
