Things I miss about 'home' Part 1 (UK vs NZ): It's almost a year since we upped sticks and made the dash across hemispheres. Things are a little different here, but similar enough that it's easy to forget how far away it is. What have I missed so far? 🐿 Squirrels! No squirrels in NZ. I really miss these peeps for some reason. 🐥 Badgers! No badgers in NZ (guess which emoji is missing from the collection?). 🦊 Foxes! No foxes in NZ. It's still weird to stroll through gorgeous woodland without seeing fluffy-tailed nut-munchers scampering up tree trunks. Or witness food recycling bins tipped upside down on collection day. Or slope home after a late night out in the company of a skinny vulpine friend. The truth is, most of the things I miss about the UK are nature-based: animals or certain tree varieties. For the curious, NZ wasn't home to land mammals for most of its history. Now that possums and feral cats are a big part of the ecosystem, many of the endemic trees and birds are in trouble. Any compensations in terms of life here? Well, yes, a few...! 🌳 Pohutukawa: stunning native tree which flowers around Christmas time. I fell in love with this tree on my first NZ trip 20-odd years ago. Still in love 😍. 🐧 Tui: a beautiful bird with a cute white necktie and a lovely lilting song. 🌊 So much beautiful coastline! I live near it now, so I get to see the sea daily. At last... Lots more of these little observations to come. It's definitely a challenge moving to a new country, but change always has its pros and cons. For me, life is more peaceful, more nature-filled, gentler. The nature of life is impermanence. I like to embrace change as much as I can. My whole life is a patchwork quilt of changes – as yours might be too. Who knows how much more will come? I want to stay flexible for it if I can. Have you made a major change lately (or about to embark on one)? How's it going? #change #impermanence #NZ #ProofingByPage #freelancelife

A sure sign that Harvest is well and truly underway! 🕷️ Every year we navigate the changing seasons of the Farm, which inevitably includes some fairly tricky transient visitors as they flee the combine harvester and relocate to safer ground. For our 8 legged friend, change can be beneficial, providing a prompt to seek shelter for the cooler seasons ahead but, as you might agree change it’s not always welcome or comfortable. One minute your world is familiar and you are the king or queen of your castle, the next, everything has changed and you feel the need to run for cover! This female spider is naturally adept at surviving, notoriously eating her mate for sustinace once she’s made good use of him (and has of course been offered suitable alternative accommodation 😅!) Remaining flexible is key, ensuring the foundation on which you make your plan is strong, healthy and dynamic, and being ready to pivot and take a new direction. As humans, we sometimes need a little help to navigate change. Relate? #changeishealthy #coaching #firststeps #change #buildingteams #spider

ACMA’s Christmas Wreath For as long as anyone can remember, a bread wreath has been part of the ACMA Christmas season. It’s not just any wreath—it’s a golden-brown loaf of bread shaped by hand and hung by our office door, signaling the arrival of the holidays. This tradition began years ago with Gloria McClure. She’d bake a wreath every year using an old French bread recipe. It didn’t last long as something you’d want to eat, but that only added to the fun. People used to joke about eating it before it turned rock-solid. Somehow, though, it always survived the season. The bread wreath is more than decoration—it’s a piece of ACMA’s story. It reminds us of the little things that give our work culture meaning. Like so many traditions, it’s less about the “thing” itself and more about the people behind it and the moments it represents. Wreaths in History Wreaths have been around forever. Their circular shape is meant to symbolize eternity. Centuries ago, they became part of the Christmas season, starting with Yule traditions and later becoming a symbol of Advent. Each candle in an Advent wreath represented hope, love, joy, or peace. These days, for many people, wreaths are just a symbol of holiday cheer—and there’s nothing wrong with that. However you celebrate, we hope your holidays are filled with those same things: hope, love, joy, and peace. From all of us at ACMA, happy holidays.
