hairyLemon's 10th anniversary and Valentine's Day!












This year we got to celebrate our very first summer Valentine’s Day! It was a pretty nice day and we decided to go out to brunch at our favorite local spot, Café Decadence and then went to a local cookie company factory called Cookie Time. Jocelyn bought a t-shirt to commemorate the day and we got some of Jocelyn’s favorite afghan biscuits. An Afghan biscuit is a traditional New Zealand biscuit made from cocoa powder, butter, flour and cornflakes.

Later that evening we went to a beautiful restaurant for dinner that sits right on the Avon River, called Retour. They offered a 5 course meal with wine pairings that we took advantage of. We had a lovely night with lovely food and conversation. It was very romantic.

We are realizing that February goes a lot faster when it is warm out! :) We are both enjoying our jobs and Jocelyn just helped hairyLemon celebrate their 10th anniversary. She planned a party complete with a lemon-shaped cake. Those Lemons really know how to party! She is also spear-heading a move they will be making soon. hairyLemon will shift their offices right after Easter to 123 Victoria Street which is conveniently a short walk around the corner from our flat. The directors have some really awesome things planned for the new space and Jocelyn has been sworn to secrecy. It will be real funky and modern – certainly the coolest office that either of us has ever worked in before.

We will be sure to take photos when the new offices are open.
