Mountain Biking down the South island

On the coast out from Christchurch James and Les needing a little breather

James Graduates

James completed his B.Sc degree 2005 and we all ( including Nana and friends) celebrated his graduation in Dunedin. An awesome weekend of socialising and just hanging out. Dunedin turned on the best weekend, sunshine, warmth and great pubbing.

The Epic Journey of Daughter and Friends

Friday night- when an hour long trip turned into a three hour nightmare. NZ gravel once again took its toll with a 180 degree spin on back country roads, careering down a half metre bank in slow motion to come to a standstill precariously perched on a lean with flat tyre and night fast approaching. All occupants dazed but fine. A quick text to the south island buddy for tyre changing assistance . Tyre promptly changed with some skill. But no the axle was stuffed, mobile phones in motion the car written off and parents to the rescue. Alls well that's ends well.

The Kids

Mike's already in Europe,Abs leaves next Friday and James as soon as exams finish mid June. Parents are still in NZ working hanging out for that European summer

Almost Leaving

Hi everyone soon - only 42 more sleeps and Les and I head to Europe to catch up with Mike, James and Abby and have a holiday in Croatia.
