Steal you away

Round 16: August 2025

Greg Newman is 32, Malia is 29, Briony is 1 and Iona Fielding is 13.

(Erin is 30, Skye is 13, Naomi is 2.)

Narrated by Iona.

I'm spending August at dad's and so far I've been pretty bored. Skye has a boyfriend now so we don't hang out as much as we did before. She comes around sometimes but even then she talks about Todd all the time. I'm happy for her but at the same time I'm kind of jealous - not because I'd want Todd for myself but because I'd really like to have a boyfriend who worships the ground I walk on. I had my first kiss with Jeremy Hayes last year - ok, so I kissed him but it totally still counts - but it's quite clear that he's not interested.

Beautiful day

Round 16: July 2025

Alexander and Bobbie Greene are 74, Camryn and Patsy are 34, Mia is 11 and Hanna and Jared are 4.

Narrated by Patsy.

We finally gave in and bought a new dog. Poppy's a labrador and she's already become a part of our family. The kids have loved spending time with her and I have to say I'm quite fond of her too.

Merry Christmas!

We got a white Christmas this year. And even some sunlight!

Updates coming soon.

Round 16: June 2025

Kurt Robinson is 69, Tina is 37, Frieda is 17, Tim is 4 and Michael is 1.

(Zach is 21 and Sara is 16.)

Narrated by Frieda.

Christian broke up with me last week. He's leaving to study abroad and he felt like there's no point in dragging out our relationship because he doesn't know when and if he's coming back. I know breaking up was the sensible thing to do but it still hurt. I never really expected us to stay together forever but he was my first boyfriend and this is my first break-up so it's going to take some time to get over it.

Happy Birthday, June 2025

Malia and Greg Newman are pregnant with their second child together and they're over the moon with joy. The baby is due in December 2025.

Round 16: May 2025

Deacon Burrows is 60, Stella Harris is 61, Minka is 7 and Nick is 5.

(Liv is 27, Dawn is 21, Finn is 20 and Shea is 5.)

Narrated by Deacon.

One of the best things I know nowadays is being greeted at the gate to our house by Minka when I come home from work. "Daddy, you're home!" she shouts and throws her arms around my neck. It took months before she started calling me Daddy so it's like winning the lottery every time I hear it.

Money for nothing, 2025

This is the first tax season with the new governor Denise Cooper. She's taking the opportunity to meet residents of each household in the Wellington District to make sure everyone can pay their taxes in the most convenient way possible. She doesn't want to run any family into debt because of poor payment planning.
