The wide expanse of the clearest sky, so full and hot and blue. The stunning view of the Hauraki Gulf, its waters deep and true. The vineyards and the olive groves, rows and rows of trees with branches bearing fruit – wine and oil these will be. The laughter of friends in different tongues, music to our ears. Each and everyone whom we care about and whom we hold so dear.
The best day of our lives. We must come back, you say. We will return, I promise – I vow – come what may.
