After a very busy leadup to Christmas, I had a lovely break in Nelson over Christmas with my family. We camped in my great-aunt's backyard in Mapua, and made the most of the sunshine. We even managed to miss the boxing day aftershocks.
I attended the Nelson market as a stallholder for the first time, and had a great day soaking up the atmosphere. It was something I'd wanted since I was a teenager, and first started selling candles. I even went in with some family friends once who had a stall, to see what it was like. All I can remember is having to get up at a ridiculously early hour of the morning!
I'm really looking forward to 2011. I hope to continue growing my business, and to earn enough to live off, as I have grown rather used to working for myself! I've got lots of great things planned, so stay tuned to keep up to date.
I have compiled a selection of some of my favourite photos from over the last month or so. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteNelson is on my 'places to visit this year' list. I'm really looking forward to it :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Nelson since I was a teenager. I've GOT to go back - Cable Bay looks divine! I'm really pleased you had a nice break away and chance to recharge.
