Hi All, I would like to say Happy Birthday to my sister!, hope you have a great day! Alex left the flat this weekend, hopefully it was nothing to do with us and more to do with the fact he wanted to join the TA and do another year at university. We went out Friday night for his leaving drinks and helped him pack up his stuff and i think he just caught his ferry in time. It was sad to see him go as he has been pretty cool to me since i got here but people move...

Hi all, In addition to cruising round the North Island in campervan ...at the weekend we decided to go quad biking in Martinborough which is a really pretty town in the Wairarapa. I was really scared about getting on a quad bike after the last experience where i hit a tree head on, as fast as those things go and ended up in bed for 3 days badly bruised.
