Home

It was my first time home in 18 months and it was well worth the wait. It was great to catch up with everyone and spend time at home with Mum and Dad.

Some of the highlights included:

- Catching up with Dean and Helen and Bermuda Josh at the Wright / Watkins wedding in Te Aroha



- Our time in Te Aroha which exceeded my expectations, it was a really nice place and we had a wonderful time at Josh and Helen's wedding.



- Landing in Dunedin to the biggest welcoming committee that has ever greeted me at the airport (to be fair, not all of them were strictly there to greet me specifically...)
- Losing my pasty white Pommie skin to the fierce Middlemarch sun



- Being put to work by Dad, he took full advantage of the extra pair of hands and I was kept very busy which was good.
- Viewing Juliet and Kevin's new house in Mosgiel
- Easter time in Edendale, nice to have a couple of days off and enjoy the hospitality of the May family
- Catching up with Burt and Barry and meeting his new fiancee
- Enjoying some proper food - a couple of great roasts, BBQ's, Talley's mussels, Bluff oysters, a spectacular seafood sandwich at Ziff's cafe and Robyn's fabled 'Anything you like' potatoes
- The weather, which was fantastic the whole time and appreciated so much more right now because it is snowing outside in London as I write this.
