One of the drawbacks from all the time we have spent off the road is how little we have seen of people we have got to know over the last few years. So with my treatment for lymphoma now well and truly behind us it was time to hit the road for some new adventures.… Read More Catching Up.
I am sure that a significant number of motorhomers living in Auckland feel the same as me. After twelve weeks of lockdown the novelty has well and truly worn off and just want to get away in their motorhome. Even though the current level three restrictions prevent us from staying anywhere currently, it doesn’t stop… Read More Let Me Out Of Here!
It’s hard to believe I last wrote a travel-related post back in August 2020, although I did write a post about our towbar tribulations with LTSA in May of this year.

On the way, we made a brief detour from SH1 to Whangarei Ports. To visit our friend Brian who is busy getting his “dingy” ready for… Read More The Perfect Pitstop – Wenderholm
This is a blog that I never thought I would write. Back in 1999, we were lucky enough to be chosen by a very adorable black and white cat as it’s new provider of food and shelter when it turned up on our doorstep. Despite extensive efforts to locate the owner at the time we… Read More Travels with Mr Blobby
2017 has been quite a year of change for me after being diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma and spending the last few months of 2016 going through Chemo I had finished the treatment at the start of this year and was on the road to getting my hair back.
