Rotorua, New Zealand. 30th December, 2020

Happy New Year 2020 is almost is an end. It will be a year we will not easily forget. The Pandemic, Brexit and the US election, which despite being decidedly beaten, Trump still refuses, weeks later, to admit he lost. There must have been some good times, but they are…

30th October. Day 3 in Quarantine. New Zealand.

It’s all a blur. Unsure till we were on the plane taxiing out at Heathrow, that we were actually going to be able to return here to NZ. How much longer can airlines sustain these long haul services? On a plane that can transport up to 350 people, ours had…

Unexpected visit to Somerset and Devon 20 – 23 October

Earlier in the summer we had considered a trip to Somerset and on to Devon and Cornwall. This didn’t materialise as we discovered this part of the country was packed with UK “staycationers” and because of various Covid restrictions. However, we felt we still had time for a quick visit…

Challenges of International travel, and life.

Time for an update on our unravelling plans. Getting back home to New Zealand is proving more difficult than necessary. It’s completely understandable that carriers are rescheduling and making commercial adjustments to their business plan. To me, what is unacceptable is that their plans are not articulated to those they…

September 2020 update from Wineham, West Sussex, UK

Well, we survived our second round of 14 days of self isolation. This time it was much harder and I was starting to feel like a caged animal. I did ‘escape’ twice. Once to walk to the letterbox down the lane to post some urgent documents. I saw no one…

Friday 21st August. Thank you France, you are amazing. Now back in Blighty.

The last day in France went as planned. As it was a drizzly night the Caranex was packed up wet. There was no time to dry it out as the ferry check-in time being 11am. Departure time from Dieppe, 12.30pm. Breakfast and packing up takes time and it was 9.15am…

Monday, 10th August – Sunday, 16th August. Aizenay, Nostang, Redon, Le Coudray-Macouard.

The last 5 days have been pretty amazing. A mix of staying in some fabulous luxurious and historic locations, with camping. Being with family, meeting friends and new extended family. None of this was anticipated or planned for this year. The only downside being the news, a couple of days…

Tuesday 4th to Sunday 9th August. France.

Jen mentioned the recovery of Poki from home Saturday morning. Rob, the mechanic from Gumtree, who kindly rushed to our assistance with a recovery vehicle and trailer, carted Poki back to the workshop. I couldn’t get her started again after returning from the worship Friday afternoon. Rob was ultimately successful…

Sunday, 2nd August. Wineham, West Sussex, U.K.

Having been in the U.K. for 7 weeks, Poki has just caught up with us, 2 days later than scheduled. We collected her from Southampton Docks last Monday afternoon. This turned out to be a very simple procedure. Much to our extreme delight and after weeks of worrying, she is…

Days 313 – 320. Royal Oak Country Park. West Sussex. UK.

Friday 12th June. It’s lovely to be home again. That is, in our “other” home, in the UK. While it’s clouding over now it’s been a glorious day, since we arose at midday…:) The journey to get here from Veracruz in Mexico, was almost flawless in execution. Though much more expensive…
