Going, going, gone

Am not much into 'selfies' but this is me and my niece Amy 2 mins before her flight to CHCH was called. She's going to CHCH and then tomorrow she will be gone, back to the UK.
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed her company. When I left for NZ in 2006 she was a 13 year old girl, a lovely one for sure. When I next saw her she was a stroppy 16 year old who had to be fair had to deal with some fairly serious shit. This time she is a 22 year old young woman who is poised, intelligent and a delight. Love and miss her already
