Things Are Really Flying


Latest news is that we are now loading the van in to a 20' container as this allows us to ship all our various personal goods without customs problems - the estimated departure date is now the 18th of September for arrival in Auckland on October 25th. Meanwhile we have subscribed to the excellent www.nzmotorhome.co.nz site which has supplied loads of useful info. and even some very kind offers of accommodation.

In other news we managed after weeks of unsettled weather to get Sarah her flight over Pembrokeshire.A 30 year old plane with controls and trim reminiscent of a 60's Triumph Herald took us over our old house, those of various friends and then a spectacular exploration of the superb coast and back up the various tributaries of the Cleddau. This shot shows Dinas Head north of Fishguard, looking north towards Newport and the coast towards Cardigan where we live.
