From the team - December 2010

 


Merry Christmas
What I’m looking forward to this Christmas...

The NZ House & Garden team. Front row, seated from left:

Sarah Connell, Designer: “Champagne, carols and Christmas ham.”

Sally Duggan, Editor: “Turning on the Christmas tree lights for the first time.”

Kate Coughlan, Editorial Director: “Seeing what my sister Rosemarie and niece Pippa cook for Christmas lunch after their visit to Ruth Pretty’s Christmas Cooking Class.”

Sybille Hetet, Photo Editor: “Swapping my moonboot – after my ankle fracture – for jandals and feeling the sand of the Great Barrier Island beaches under my toes. Free at last!”

Kara Barnett, Web Editor: “Shopping for the perfect Christmas tree with my dad and brothers.”

Back row, standing from left:

Tracey Ellin, Art Director: “I have two sons and getting to shop for something pretty for my favourite nieces, Francesca and Bella, is always exciting.”

Melisa Sinclair, Group Sales Manager: “Watching the children’s faces as they open their presents.”

Niki O’Brien, Directory Sales Manager: “I look forward to Christmas carols at my sister’s place; her decorations always set the scene for a magical evening.”

Rosemary Barraclough, Deputy Editor: “Making a gingerbread house with my daughter, Lucy.”

Ellen Dorset, Editorial Assistant: “The food! Buttery croissants for breakfast, Mum’s turkey galantine and salads for lunch, followed by her home-made cinnamon ice cream and my aunty’s Christmas pudding. Yum!”

Marcel Gull, Designer: “My family’s quintessential Christmas Day at our bach in the Abel Tasman, where I always end up helping my nephews build amazing sandcastles on the beach.”

Jodie Fitzgerald, Brand Manager: “Opening the first gift on Christmas Eve – just
the one!”

Jan Chilwell, Sub-editor: “Family, friends and lots of sunshine.”

Natalie Parton, Advertising Coordinator: “Being with all my family and watching them open their presents.”

Absent: Tracey Strange; Sally Butters; Gordon Collier; Jane Turner; Elaine Millar
