With most of the flights booked and the last date for Amazon deliveries past, it has been essential today to make the most of our home comforts, namely walking to the pub and sitting back to watch the second round of the six nations.

Flying from Heathrow at lunchtime on Monday still seems a long way away, but with no bags actually packed so far there is a lot of time for 'the fear' to kick in. Fortunately we are can leave England safe in the knowledge that we had secured a trusty campervan in Auckland, from our new best friend Sanjay at Supercheapcars.com. It was great to spend some time enjoying home life, leaving the final planning until we're airborn!
