Hello from Nice and off to NZ!

I've been silent again, meaning I'm on the road once more. Yes at the busiest time of the year. Not kidding. And came home for whole 2 days before going out again. So what's on the agenda for this month? Well it started with work trip for Nice and 8 days later with mostly gray and rainy weather we wrapped up with a gorgeous view.
 This was at the rooftop, but sadly I never made it to the actual beach. Just had to see the nice blue waters from above for few hours.
It really is that gorgeous there, even for short time it was worth the trip.  But alas, couldn't stay extra time and enjoy scenery and had to come home. Why? Because there is another trip has been booked for past 6 month.
 Can you guess where I'm going? Brownie points for first person who gets it right..
I'll give you a hint - it requires a VERY long flight.  See ya on the flip side! :)

Bye Bye Rose..

One short visit with nice hoof-prints and my roses went "bye bye". Deer had a nice snack and now I'm tempted to have venison for dinner. Ok so not really going to shoot an animal but I am upset. Was really hoping they'd leave my patio alone already.
I guess I'll keep experimenting with other pants to see if there is anything they don't eat. Of course my hubby loved the look of roses, so he want to get few more. Will see if they survive.
