Well it’s been a while………..





………….Our employer’s swamped us for two months with their needs, wants and general expectations– 8-9 weeks of them, family and friends doesn’t sound much, but when you are living it you would be amazed at how much someone who has everything wants!!!!! It’s unbelievably ‘full on’ when they are in residence, our days are about 17 hours long and it’s relentless. Their idea of our existence is to make theirs wonderful (which we do)! Still it enables us to do what we want - travel whenever we can. Egypt soon ……. can’t wait!!!!
We recently had a few days in magical Cornwall. One could imagine, in some places, that you are in NZ ……. but the temperature of the Atlantic is hardly the Pacific or even the Tasman. In Bude (where we stayed) anyone (who took to the water) wore a wetsuit and so people wander around the town wearing them …… at times it felt like we were encroaching on a seal colony.
Paris beckoned for my birthday ……. The Eurostar is so easy …… and Paris still enchants us, as it did on our first visit over four years ago!!! Four years have flown and while there is still heaps we want to see and do, our thoughts are starting to turn to NZ and we are studying (when our employers are absent) to set ourselves up for another phase of our lives when we return………….so maybe in the next year (or so!)………..we have had a little influx of visitors from NZ recently and it’s always fab………come while you can, we’d love to show you this environment and part of the world…………..much love xx
