I regularly visit FB to read what is happening in the lives of my loved ones and every now and then I am taken by what is said… some things are “Ok… don’t get it but ok?” and sometimes there are words of a “Moment in time”, something that just makes sense, something that makes you think, sometimes helps you find an answer or even just makes you go “Absolutely”. Tonight I read a statement by my daughter Dae -Maree in her Facebook post after a jogging session with my grand daughter Aijah, which I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing. “A treat of freshRead More →

With our house sitting in Sumner over and although we have had an amazing time, it was at the same time good to get back into our routine in our Moho. We spent the last two days moving bits and pieces of our own back into our motorhome. We picked Rosie and Giles up from the airport and the poor guys looked absolutely shattered from their long flight back from the UK, so with Jude and I already being aware that this would be the case we decided not to stay too long and allow the travellers to get some well needed sleep. Leaving themRead More →

Well it is now the weekend and what was days to go only seems like hours now. It’s Friday night and it’s over to Lyttelton for dinner and the Lyttelton Festival Of Lights. It’s 1600hrs and we decided to go early as we wanted to beat the crowd and to ensure we don’t have to fight for a seat at any of the restaurants. Once over at Lyttelton which was a quick as easy drive, the market food stalls were setting and boy did the aroma of different food flood our hungry nostrils… easy decision, it’s going to be stall food for dinner but firstRead More →

(Shane writes) – Yes… it is true, the curtain is dropping fast here in Sumner as the end of our House Sit crashes in what seems quite abruptly. Two months ago we thought wow what a long time to explore the area, the thought that it is a long time, but actually its come around so fast. We have been out doing things every day barring one where the weather was just not suitable for anything. We have always managed to find something interesting to do wether its hiking, biking, dining, Movies, theater plays, 4×4 drive or some other Cantebury attraction, really there is soRead More →

Really amazed at how fast time can pass you by when you’re busy out and about doing things. Doing things in Canterbury is easy to do as there is so much to do. Now as you can see by our previous posts, we have been busy, many bike rides and walks around Christchurch and the Port Hills. The weather for the past 3 weeks has been particularly dismal some sort of record was set 17 hours of sunshine in 17 days!!! We spent some of those grey days at the botanical gardens, Museum and Art Gallery well worth the effort! The last three days haveRead More →

Looks like the Kim and Tom have got things sorted in the first days of their Canadian experience, with the necessary details and information established its off for a familiarity recon around the local area they’re staying. With a temperature of about 30 degrees its a big change from the deep south of NZ at this time of the year. Envy these guys and their adventurous demeanor and both Jude and I are probably as excited as they are. Looking forward to keeping up on their adventures with their own posts on this site over the next two years. Their First Pics Of VancouverRead More →
