Happy New Year!






Mum and dad certainly made the most of their time in N.Z. We did some local walks on them arriving in Taumarunui the weather was fantastic and we all went to see the local gloworms one evening, they took Freya up Mount Ruapehu on the chairlift a first for them amongst many others. They have a taken helicopter ride over a glacier and been whale-watching ! They will have a couple of nights with us before getting back to blighty.

Well we've been here a year, how time flies!

Gareth has had a promotion at work (teacher i/c sport) and has also taken on Head of House (Hikurangi), he is enjoying his 8 week hols at the mo, and so are me and the girls.

Last year I did a spot of personal -training which I really enjoyed, so I have enrolled on Netfit, a personal - training course. I will be a student again...minus the usual connatations that label brings! First job is to organise a team of about 14 ladies to run/walk around Lake Taupo (155km).

Freya is very ready for school, and will be starting on her birthday in March this year. she has a Kiwi accent. Freya has also learnt to ride bike ( no stabilisers!)

Merryn is crawling, so it's time to re-arrange bottom shelf items!
