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.

Barney goes to Wellywood


Barney was off last week for an overnight school trip to Wellington - very excited by the prospect of a short hop on the plane across to the other island.

He went without so much as a glance behind him and came back dark and glassy eyed and very short tempered but happy nonetheless.

He got to do and see some cracking things. Such as a TV studio where the class made and posted a video news cast: http://capitale.blip.tv/file/4480317/


HE also got to go to Parialment and visited John Keyes office - John sadly wasn't there to meet'n'greet them but Barney was most impressed to learn from Johns PA that John was a very sociable man and was often inthe bar chatting. Barney was also very impressed by the knowledge that there was a secret bunker underneath the building. To which we all are thinking it doesn't sound that secret when even a bunch of 13 year olds knows...

Still he was chortling at the fact that he spend nearly $50 on mints - 'I was addicted to eating mints' - including a packet of Parliamints that he bought at the parliament (you see what they did there? ha ha mints...ments..).
