Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson has revealed she's soaking up the sun on Waiheke Island, while friends and family back home in the UK battle the "Beast from the East".
Posting to Twitter and Instagram, the 58-year-old has shared an idyllic image of Oneroa Beach. Taken from the hillside, Lawson's snap shows off an almost cloudless blue sky above the quiet, sun-drenched bay.
She tweeted: "I feel very mean posting this given the weather back home - not that I ever mind the cold - but am happily arrived in beautiful New Zealand and just lapping it up."
