Trying out doing blog on tablet

So now trying to put photo in. Can't see what I am typing so this should be fn.

so yes it works albeit I need to tidy up Dropbox so that it is quicker.

A fresh start

.

I have been offline for a while - lots of family stuff, interspersed with some voluntary work and a little paid work - and while it is unrealistic to pretend all in life goes the way we want it to, it is what it is... sometimes you just need to keep a low profile and let things sort themselves out. So with my trip in August coming up, and spring only a month or two away it is time to start afresh... so here goes!

We have a new campervan after selling the bus and it will be fun to highlight our adventures in her especially with our new family addition Tui ( Cavalier King Charles spaniel).

 Life has been quite busy in the last couple of weeks - a trip to Mozart's Magic Flute Opera and then a celebration of all things British and red white and blue at the Last Night of the Proms and getting ready for my trip with Dianne to England and Paris in August.

Dorothy and I - love the headress?

I have also been flat out making some souvenirs to give to other tour members as well as furiously knitting new cardigans for the littlies in Palmerston North. We do so enjoy all available opportunities to be there with them.
