With Christmas well and truly behind us and weeks spent with family, most especially grandchildren, I am only now thinking about this blog. December and January seem to have just flown by and now we are already into February. How did that happen? December for us was spent between Tweed Heads and Noosa, enjoying the big family get togethers with almost all of our family members in the one place at the same time.

We had a great time in NZ, managing to get 2 house sits while we were there. We spent the first 4 weeks in a lovely little renovated cottage in Blenheim on the South Island and explored quite a bit of the surrounding areas. With a bus stop right outside we explored as much as we could t...
