With the upcoming Red Nose Day on 23 August (www.rednoseday.co.nz) it is a chance to don on a red nose, act silly, share comedy and laughter and raise money for charity. No matter the red nose, the aim is still the same – to help right social inequity. In the past, globally, the day has helped educate people, build safe communities, and has provided much needed health relief. The images of the wonderful Clown Doctors remind us that work of smiling also happens throughout the year to help sick children in hospitals (www.clowndoctors.org.nz). No matter what the red nose and what the charity and what the day, you will be helping someone – to laugh, to donate, to be positive and to be silly, just by wearing a red nose.

I’m not much into messy play with my children. But thanks to inspiration from www.kiwifamilies.co.nz I very much broke the mould and made my kids ‘slime’. We had a great time – bathroom was covered in pink goop and the kids were focussed and happy. Happy children = happy parent!Slime August 2013 Slime August 2013

The innocent beauty of a childThe serenity and trust of this child in the hands of an adult is both beautiful and frightening. It is only when you capture how trusting a child is in the hands of an adult that I know how fragile life is.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future.

Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colours are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

Wellington did it: new world record holders for the most sandcastles in an hour!

…. although still to be confirmed by the good folks at Guinness World Records.

Last Sunday, 25 November 2012, armed with my 50mm lens, I took my family along to Lyall Bay Beach, Wellington, to see Adventure Wellington (www.adventurewellington.co.nz), with support from the important people and associates from Weta Workshop, set out to break the Guinness World Record for the most sandcastles built in one hour. Over 3000 people came together on sunny Lyall Bay Beach to break the record and it looks like they did it with 1523 sandcastles passing the required grade. Yay Wellington. A very enjoyable event for my family, friends and I – thank you.

Importantly, the Neonatal Trust (www.neonataltrust.org.nz) got to raise funds from this event to support the neonatal units around New Zealand. A fantastic cause!

Do you remember your pre-school birthday parties? The excitement of your cake, your friends, opening your presents, laughter, music, games. I remember bits and pieces only – seemingly elaborate cakes from fairy stories, balloons, and games. I wish I could remember more!



I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

It matters not
who you love,
where you love,
why you love,
when you love,
or how you love,
It matters only
that You love.

John Lennon
