My boy wants some attention. I've been trying to read my emails, but my Spaniel wants to get his morning rub. Great company dogs, aren't they? #dogcompany #cockerspanielcompany #healingpowerofdogs (at Invercargill, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5oTNBugJRM/?igshid=1ifjwjmo1ub1e

Christchurch Massacre reflections. Love is everywhere here. Why is there so much hatred in the world. The feelings expressed along this wall are for the world to see. #ChristchurchMassacreflections #lovethyneighbor #empathytowardsothers (at Curators House Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwECp08AWO7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=phltvovi6aal

Christchurch Massacre reflections. I was there for all the grief, and all the love. Amazing how tragedy brings strangers together. Love will conquer all. #lovebeatshate #ChristchurchMassacre #Christchurchwalloflove #sharelovewithmuslims https://www.instagram.com/p/BwEAKFmgwmG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wjlb9sijuztv

Take a look at this beautiful Monarch butterfly caterpillar. I have many of these living on my special plant. Exciting to watch them eating and then changing into a Monarch butterfly chrysalis. There will be many butterflies living at my place soon. #monarchbutterfly xlif (at Invercargill, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwD-jKGAXcB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2o84pa1g13e0

Peaceful morning out walking my very patient Cocker Spaniel. Invercargill has so many really nice walking tracks. #atpeacedogwalking #Invercargillwalkingtracks #Serenity #dogsareincredible #findtime (at Invercargill, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnDlJigO8l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c2b1r9yyaw3h

South Island's West Coast has some fabulous natural scenery. There are beautiful lakes, amidst bush and mountains. This scene in particular impressed me. New Zealand's South Island offers an overseas visitor many incredible scenic views. #LoveWestCoastSouthIslandNZ #DriveSouthIslandNZ #Livinginparadise #ProudofmyIsland #mustseeWestCoastNZ (at West Coast, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOgmvAg2EW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vi03rmpx39mw

On my bucket list trip to see the only part of New Zealand that I've never seen: Bay of Islands. This is beautiful Paihia, where we are lucky enough to be staying for 5 nights. #JeffsBucketList #Paihia #Seeingmycountry #Lovemycountry (at Paihia, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buzdiq9AIAx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ktccb6l5pg1r

Poor old Toby, he's had a big day walking with his mum. He's normally my close companion, but I needed a rest today. My lovely wife is my "rock" who I lean on when I'm struggling. Today I leaned. #Leanonmyrock #TobytheCockerSpaniel #closecompanionship #MyWifeMyRock #TodayILeaned (at Invercargill, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BotUvwFAmEf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19vhqh221k2ar
