My 25th. My fi ancé, Bevan
Randell, took me to Hawke’s
Bay for a long weekend. The
weather was just beautiful, so
we hired bikes and cycled to
Elephant Hill winery to meet
friends for lunch. We drank
and ate way too much and
lost track of time, leaving us
only half an hour to quickly
cycle back to drop off our hired
bikes. I didn’t stop smiling
all day – it was the best.

Travelling the world for
a year with Bevan.
THE BEST
BIRTHDAY I EVER
HAD WAS...
