Were Bros Limited

Were Bros Limited Carter's Organic Sprouted Bread and Carter's Organic Seeded Sourdough. Available by the slice and the loaf. I make all my bread on site in small batches.

Organic Seeded Sourdough Bread
Organic Sprouted Buckwheat Bread (gluten free). These are both available by the slice or by the loaf.

The name Were Bros is taken from my great great great granddads company, who made soft drinks in Christchurch in the 19th century. My dad likes to collect the old bottles, which is where I got my logo. Open 8-4 Thursday & Friday

A slow morning at home with

Citrus picked from the trees barefoot and an upside down cake made mostly by little hands 🍊

I love when the sun comes through the kitchen windows, the kitchen is a bit messy, the kids are licking the bowls and are waiting (not so patiently) for a slice of cake.

Thank you for spending the day with us! đź’™

The hardest part about being a twin is not living in the same place. I can’t imagine what it’s like to not be a twin, but for me being an identical twin feels like I’m one half and Harry is the other.

We chat multiple times a day and while we’re different in many ways, we share similar interests and enjoy the same things.

I love working on cookbooks with Harry because it’s a way we can collaborate despite our different work. Our books will hopefully be treasured by our children and passed down to theirs as well.

Leaving each other every time hurts, but I hope one day we’ll live in the same place. We could help each other, our children could see each other most days and we would eat meals together most nights. Then I think I will feel complete 💙❤️🎏

Colourful cooking s Greek inspired meal at home in comfy Greek cotton

I first visited Greece when I was 19, and still a child myself when I think about it now. I left home at 17 and moved to Sydney shortly afterwards. Back then Instagram didn’t exist, and one day I passed a travel agent on my way home from work and saw a pamphlet about Greece in their window. I decided then I wanted to go.

I found an job online as an au pair and left. I arrived at Elpiniki and Akis’s house to care for their four year old son, Harry. The family took great care of me like I was their daughter and trusted me with their child, who quickly became my close friend. They fed me, took me to the hospital, took me shopping, to parties, to the beach and introduced me to great food.

They’re the reason I fell in love with cooking and Greece. I consider them my family and Elpiniki my Greek mother. I’m forever grateful for the experience they gave me and she is the strongest mother I know.

Being a mother is the hardest job, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have so much respect for mothers, single parents and those longing to be one. Be kind to yours 💙

I love most things from New Zealand and Kowtow is one of them. I admire their values, simple styles and comfortable clothing. Their designs are long lasting, easy to care for and then returned to the earth.

Jack took these photos of me at home amidst the chaos of children and animals. Small daily rituals like making coffee, cooking, wiping the table down, tidying the house and tending to the garden give me peace of mind. I don’t aim for perfection but I do enjoy the rhythm, comfort and sense of closure they bring. Kowtow shares this philosophy too and supporting them feels good 💙

Cooler, crispier, cosier, colourful đź’™

I never try thought our home as cosy, colourful and fun until someone recently mentioned it. But living in a shed with three kids has forced us to be creative and find what works best for us. I think open shelving adds a lot of personality to a space and spending minimal money to improve it also encourages creativity. It’s similar to how I approach cooking and I get the most joy from using what I have to make a meal and that’s when I’m most creative.

I love giving my kids jobs that help me out and they enjoy doing them too. Setting the table for guests is one of these, and I feel it’s a part of family life that teaches them teamwork. They love having people over and I enjoy involving them in the process.

Growing up, my parents weren’t very social and we rarely had extra people over for a meal. Mum had four kids (and a live in au pair) and having guests over could be a lot of extra work. As a child I was extremely shy (I’m still shy) but having friends over helps them develop their social skills. They get to witness the chaos (which is normal) and help tidy up. Hopefully one day they’ll enjoy hosting their friends too 💙

These kind of moments I think about all year. When I am together with my family and my kids are with their cousins. It’s rare to find holiday homes (or in NZ we call them a bach) that are as special as this one. The Davis family have created a haven that they are generous enough to share with others. It’s big enough for us all but small enough that we are all close by. It’s beautiful, relaxed, friendly, easy and the worst thing about it is having to leave. Thank you for having us, we are so grateful that you welcomed us into your space. The sweet memories will be with us all forever 💙
