HIM & HER

HIM&HER // hospital hill

The husband comes from the Hawkes Bay. So we try to get down when we can and take a step back from the craziness that is our lives, along with visiting the family. So when we do it is always fun to discover something new. On this sunny Sunday, we took a drive to Napier, went up Hospital Hill, looking at the wonderful houses that sit nuzzled into the hill. It may be one of our favourite pass times at the moment, house dreaming. We tend to both lean towards the slightly unusual, the ugly duckling that with a little care could be the belle of the ball, the underdog of houses if you will.

Upon the top to the hill, there stands the abandoned hospital in all it’s beauty, A bit of a babe in it’s own odd and haunting way. Oh I would love to get my mits on it’s mid century style bones. Scrub her up all shiny. Here is to dreaming.

Until next time.

Back then he was just this babe who I met in America, Who wore bandannas, dickies and basketball jerseys. When he played drums for a living and impressed me with his golf skills. Pretty happy I got to marry that guy. He is still a babe.

On a very rainy and stormy day, on the seaside of small town, I married the most brilliant man I know. Nathaniel. Now four years on, a few tattoos, wrinkles and one mustache later, her is still the most brilliant man I know, Still the love of my life, Still the babe of all babes.

Here is to another year of great times, hard times, laughs and home brew.

Love you Babe.
