W can't quite believe it but its mid winter already. Its even weirder as Sean spent the day outside building a step wearing shorts and a tee-shirt. We cooked up a feast of Stilton, Mushroom and Walnut wellington for Sean and Jenn and a big huge slab of steak for Jack and Barney. Complete with all the trimmings including brussel sprouts. And a 70's classic pudding from Jenns mums repertoire - shes gone in body but still there in spirit - Tipsy Ring. if you want to know what it is or how to make it just drop Jenn a line. No crackers or party hats though, we couldn't find any in the shops. Note to us to buy extra at Christmas so as next year we can have a big feast in our own home. The boys also cracked open Barneys Kiwi classic home made Ginger Beer, vintage June 2010, which was gingery and very fizzy.
So we raise a glass and toast all our friends and family back home and think of them at their mid summers eve, hoping the evening is long and the night balmy. We miss you all.
P.S. Happy birthday Sarah

In 2009, for many reasons that we wont go into here, we took the family decision that it was high time that we had our next big adventure. Its taken a year to sort out but finally, on April 11th 2010, we leave Blighty and family and freinds for a new life in New Zealand. This blog is for us to keep telling our story to those we leave behind and for those we leave behind to know that we miss them and they are in our thoughts.
