As always our mornings are becoming slower with organising our departures. Does that mean we are finally in holiday mode? Left our little comfy cottage that was virtually surrounded by sheep, who by the way, kept us entertained for much of our time there. So us country folks now braved to face city driving once […]

Ohhh my goodness, I have finally found a day, yes a whole day, to

like one out of the Blue:)
Well what a read and rather funny at times reading through the
eyes of a first timer to Kiwiland.

Lots of Love to you both
