I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

And the same to you! Be safe and enjoy.
(PS: mine is also little drummer boy, but by David Bowie and Bing Crosby – any version is a good one) 🙂
I have done that so many times it is embarrassing Gerry. Glad you liked it. I liked your one too…but for some reason my computer won’t let me leave comments on other blogs at the moment. I can’t get in to FB either…very weird. Have a safe and happy Christmas !!!
Jo! You made my day and I had to come say it here… Your comment on Gilly”s post about credit given for my musical greeting was perfect and sweet… TY! 🙂

Love it! This is why Christmas is my top holiday since childhood and now my son shares the same. He was so happy he kept singing pretty most of the time on Christmas day. Merry Christmas my friend. I wish you and your family all the love, happiness, peace, great health and many awesome adventures today and everyday.
And the same to you! Be safe and enjoy.
