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.

Queens birthday

This weekend is the Queens Birthday. Kiwis celebrate this by having a massive long weekend! Its a big deal. The shops are pushing sales and discount events, sporting events galore and everybody seems to try to get away or have an event to go to. Its the last long weekend until labour day. And the weather is traditional bank holiday monday - wet and windy.

We feel sad for our neighbours. They imported a caravan from the UK, took it to the shop to get it road tested and on the way home it jumped of the towing hitch and ran into a ditch. Needless to say the caravan is a right off.

P.S Bubbles up date. She's all better now and eating well.
